Reply #18: It will be a downward trend no matter what because of the economy. [View All]

It doesn't matter what happened in the last 8 years for the general public, what matters is what happens in the last 6 months. People generally don't care that Rethugs may have been totally responsible for the economy collapsing to begin with. Remember, attention spans are short.

The Dems are going to lose seats no matter what, the question is how much. Repubs in 1994 had much higher approval ratings then they do now. But with Dems also low and being the party in power, they will lose seats. The question is will it be enough losses to give the Rethugs control of Congress again?
This is the issue with a two party system. The public is angry at both parties for good reasons but to vote out the party in power the party that sucked just a few years ago when they were in power will be put back in again. An endless unhappy cycle.

It is the collapse of the economy that has pissed people off and if Rethugs were in control of Congress right now, they would be hurt as well. There is no great love of the Rethug party was my point. Just unhappiness at the two party choices we have offered. Did anyone in Mass really love Scott Brown? Think again. I am also not optimistic. I just don't buy the bs that the public loves Rethugs again. .
