BloggeRhythms

As one who’s expected and been writing about the eventuality of the outcome for four years now, there’s no need for a long dissertation on yesterday's election results. The votes have now been counted for the most part, with two major conclusions vividly obvious.
 
The final tallies show that the mid-term election was indeed a referendum on the incumbent president whose policies, platforms and ideology were clearly and resoundingly rejected. Republicans now have a Senate majority of seven seats, which may grow to nine after runoffs are conducted next month.
 
As far as the House is concerned, Republicans attained the highest number of seats since World War ll, another conformation of almost total dissatisfaction in the nation of the current administration’s beliefs and performance.
 
In attempts to defend the Democrat party itself, many of the faithful are already working diligently, placing blame for their losses on the incumbent’s shoulders only. Saying that the vote wasn’t about their overall performance, but instead a show of rejection only of POTUS. However, that premise isn’t accurate either, because a slew of gubernatorial contests went to Republican candidates too.
 
Not only do Republicans now have 31 governorships in total, they won in states won overwhelmingly by Democrats in 2012, including the strongholds in Maryland and Massachusetts along with the incumbent’s own adopted state of Illinois.
 
Furthermore, in addition to the resounding humiliation of the numerous Democrat defeats for the present, Bill Clinton and his wife were soundly rejected as well. Not only was every state lost where one or the other, or both, campaigned for contestants, in Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton was elected Senator while Republicans now have every congressional seat in the state for the first time in 141 years.
 
So, it’s now up to the Republican winners to prove they’re worthy of the contests won. But, if they can actually deliver on even half of their goals, such as full employment, true economic recovery, energy independence, undoing the health care tax, curtailing illegal immigration and establishing border security, the presidency becomes far more plausible, perhaps even probable in 2016. 
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
