The battle in the Republican party is playing out and moving toward an uneasy conclusion. It appears the radicals are going to lose and be harnessed for a while. I don't know if they will be vanquished on just pushed into a back seat.

What this means for 14' and possibly 16' is very interesting.

We have a better than ever chance of the Democrats taking the House in 14', if that happens the big winner is President Obama who will be able to leave a more lasting legacy in his last two years. Can anyone say Supreme Court?

The big winners for 16 are Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush. Those two, seen as the more moderate will start with a bump because bipartisanship will be the mantel to claim to get support from the middle. The other big winner will be Charlie Crist, who will be the Democratic Gov. of Florida by then and will be in an excellent place to get the VP spot with Hillary. Charlie having been a Republican who was drummed out for giving a hug to President Obama is the obvious poster boy for bipartisanship.

This harms Former Secretary Clinton who would rather run against Paul or Cruz.
 
Insiders who are invested in the traditional Republican party and the Wall Street Types are in back rooms right now discussing how to funnel money to more moderate primary candidates in the radical districts to lessen the TEA Party influence on Congress.

I agree, and it will harm Hillary's chances at the presidency.

We need progress, lots of it, but it must come slowly or we will be set back many years.

Yea....good luck with that. You're not going to see that shift from social conservatives as long as a minority is President. Since the odds seem likely that Hilliary would get elected, that may not happen for some time.

If we end up with Democrats controlling all branches of government the GOP will have no one to blame but themselves. Regardless of what your political affiliation is, people elect their representatives to get shit done. The current GOP house has done exactly nothing. That doesn't look like it will change anytime soon as long as anti-government fanatics have the disproportionate influence they currently do in the GOP.
 
Christie is flawed so no way. Why aren't Americans capable of separating the wheat from the chaff to start with? Bush is a real danger because his only flaw is the baggage he carries because of his brother W. Otherwise, it has to be a totally new face.

If the R's can't get shod of the baggers before the 16 election, they're doomed. And if they do by force then they're going to be divided.

Still, Americans are really stupid enough to elect an R for president. Learning the lesson comes slow. Too many stupid fucking hillbillies in the southern states.
 
The apostrophe should come before the numbers. An apostrophe replaces the missing portions of the word and or number...

'14 (replacing 20)...

14' means fourteen feet.
