GOP takes Senate - Page 3

I disagree. The GOP cannot take the presidency without voters who sympathize with the immigrant community. So, they will have to do something. Just look at Romney's ass. He did not win the presidency with his bitch-ass-the-economy-is-bad argument. They WILL have to provide some relief if the party wants a fighting chance.

Maybe Obama's delay in some type of immigration action resulted in most minorities just staying home. Republican base was more energetic this time around.

Historically, republicans always fare better than democrats in mid-presidency elections. Democrats historically been better in all aspects in election year.

we just have to wait out for baby boomer conservatives to start passing away and GOP is done at this rate.

in terms of cir and dream act, im very pessismistic about it for next 2years.

havnt look at the stats, but pretty sure the voter turn out is much lower for the democrats

this at the end will end up working out, the two years we have left with this president the american people will realize how useless the GOP is and by 2016 well be back with the democrats having full control and with a new president

Everyone saw this coming. The thing now is will the presidents advisors ask him to wait until the new congress takes over to see if they can hammer out some sort of bill for CIR. If Obama does do an EO before the end of the year it's safe to say it won't take affect until Jan 2015..which is still the new majority in the senate...
1- Obama passes EO and forces the chambers to come up with some sort of bill that he will sign to prove that both Dems and Repubes got this thing done.

2- The Repubes come up with an outrages bill that has no chance of the president signing it and causes a mass hysteria about Obama's EO causing the DEMS to lose the Presendency in 2016

Don't say the minority vote can win the WH...if Obama pisses off enough Americans with this EO we all can kiss everything GOODBYE because dems will cross party lines to get this revoked.

Incase you haven't noticed the DEMS lost seats in dominate Blue states.

Americans don't care about immigration... Economy and getting this dumb ass government to do there damn JOBS is the main focus on Americans minds.

Oh yeah Hilliary I haven't heard anything she has to say on Immigration & if she does win...If they come up with a 1/4 of a decent bill she will sign it just to one up OBAMA..just my opinion

Yup the cycle never ends.

The democrats:

It always is. During election years, more Democrat voters come out and vote because presidency voting is deemed more important to them. So while they're in the polls voting for the future president, they also vote for other races in the congress.

Hence why Democrats do better in election years and it will be the same in 2016.
