LMAO; definately too stupid for prime time.
Don't be so hard on yourself!
You're not THAT stupid...oh wait...Y-E-S you are.

a fan? not at all.... but laws are like sausages.... it's not pretty watching them get made. If republicans were at all concerned about having the filibuster misused against them, perhaps they should have been a bit more prudent when they misused it against the democrats, doncha think?
The pendulum does have to swing, we have made HUGE liberal advances in the last 5.5 years. I would rather the pendulum swing in the midterms than in a presidential year.
Maybe if the R's get big advances this November it will mean we will ride the backswing in '16.
It would be great if President Clinton could have a Democratically Controlled House and Senate her first two years.
I think her coattails will be as long as a bridal train.

Now how did Defective Truth put it earlier?
BINGO!!
If she can avoid her past as well as BO did you may be right. That may be difficult as she was far more public, national and unpopular all the while. But people are stupid and gop has not demonstrated much skill at communication so we will just have to see. Of course coattails can work two ways...I think her coattails will be as long as a bridal train.

the good part is that, even with the house AND the senate, they won't be able to override an Obama veto, so the damage they can do will be limited.
Why? (since I know tone can be hard to deduct I'm not asking that in a condescending or confrontational way. I'm curious what makes you think she'll have the same type appeal as candidate Obama did in '08.)
Did you happen to notice black voter turnout in '08?
Now imagine female voter turnout in '16.

Couldn't that have happened in '08 though? Women voters far outnumber black voters. I'm not saying it won't happen in '16 but I don't see it as a sure thing that the same effect will occur.
Secretary Clinton is not dumb, she has already begun the process of tacking to the Right of President Obama. She knows that she will have the liberal wing of the party sewn up by simply getting nominated. She wont have the problem the Republican candidate will have, she wont have to try to pull an etch-a-sketch like Romney unsuccessfully tried.
She is not my first choice for the Democratic nomination, but that wont stop her from getting the nomination, and I think very likely the Presidency.
Translation; Hillary will be pretending she is something she is not and avoiding her past to dupe gullible low information voters into voting for her in droves.
The media, who now practices malfeasance and has shed any hint of objectivity, will do everything in their power to sling mud at any Republican opponent and brand them as uncaring, haters of the poor, homophobes, women haters and racists; anything that will deflect away from Hillarie’s failures, lies and ignorance.
Secretary Clinton will get a smaller percentage of women votes than Obama got in black votes, but the excitement factor of being a part of the history of electing the first women President will be huge, it will be one of the best motivators to get out the vote, and we all know that if you can excite your electorate, you are more likely to win... If you can get your people excited about voting, and keep their people bored... you win.
Any candidate with a chance will be pretending to be someone they are not to get low information voters to vote for them in droves.
That part about the media is simply a lie told to try to make yourself feel better.
