Today, Republicans have further reasons to anticipate continuing success on retaining, or increasing, future electoral victories. Because it seems Democrat leaders are going to help them considerably.  

 

Fox News.com reports that, “Democrats are planning an extensive review of what went wrong in the 2014 and 2010 elections, hoping to find ways to translate success in presidential campaigns into future midterm contests.”

 

Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz,  who leads the Democratic National Committee said, "It's apparent that there are increasingly two separate electorates: a midterm electorate and a presidential electorate. We win one and we don't seem to be able to win the other. That is a fundamental dynamic that we have to change."

 

She then continued, "Our party has a problem. We know we're right on the issues. The American people believe in the causes we're fighting for. But the electoral success we have when our presidential nominee is able to make a case to the country as a whole, doesn't translate in other elections. That's why we lost in 2010, and it's why we lost on Tuesday."

 

Therefore, after losing a Congressional election in a landslide, along with several governorships, primarily because her own Democrat base refused to go the polls because they’re fed up with the party’s performance and platform, Ms Schultz still thinks their leadership’s correct on the issues. Which means that stubbornness and arrogance outweigh simple logic and common sense.

 

Additionally, it might do her well to consider the fact that had the incumbent president been on a ballot himself, the Deemocrat losses in votes would likely have been far worse. 

 

Consequently, as written at the start today, thanks to Ms Schultz and her committee members, Republicans nationwide are having their electioneering jobs made far easier, whereas their Democrat rivals are evidently devoted to beating themselves at the polls in the future.

 

On a similar subject, it might do Ms Schultz well to suggest that someone in the White House get Secretary of State, John Kerry, a muzzle.     

 

According to theblaze.com/blog/2014, “Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday said the U.S. and China must work together to address a range of global security concerns, and put climate change at the top of his list, above other issues such as nuclear proliferation and terrorism.

 

“As China pursues interests well beyond the Asia Pacific, there is both opportunity and necessity to coordinate our efforts to address global security concerns,” he said in a speech in Washington before an international trip that would take him to Beijing.

 

“Our shared efforts to respond to the global threat of climate change are a perfect example,” he said. Kerry said the United Nations’ recent report on climate change should be a “wake up call to everybody.”

 

“The science could not be clearer,” he said. “Our planet is warming and it is warming due to our actions.”

 

Now, at the same time that the Secretary was making his plea to the Chinese, elevating global-warming to a threat status higher than either “nuclear proliferation and terrorism,” an AccuWeather.com article appeared with the title: “Arctic Blast via Polar Vortex to Chill 42 US States.”

 

The text explained that, “As the polar vortex gets displaced to the south, the door will open for arctic air to plunge over the most of the United States as the new week progresses.”

 

Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said, ”The polar vortex is a large pocket of very cold air, typically the coldest air in the Northern Hemisphere, which sits over the polar region. Occasionally, this pocket of very cold air can get dislodged farther south than normal, leading to cold outbreaks in Canada and the U.S."

 

Consequently, while the Secretary purported his grave climate concerns, Mother Nature, as usual, had other ideas. And in this particular case, the polar vortex shift has been anticipated because it has occurred many times throughout history.

 

In that regard, “Meteorologist Matt Noyes tweeted that the polar vortex itself has been around for more than a billion years.

 

So, while it’s very apparent that the current administration isn’t very good at practically everything it attempts, from managing the US economy, to handling foreign affairs, to overseeing health care or controlling Illegal immigration, it appears they’ve really taken on another issue where they have no practical knowledge or shred of competence. 

 

Because all one has to do is pick up the Farmer’s Almanac, or open a window, to learn that the globe is about to face one of the coldest winters in recorded history.

 

That's it for today folks.
