WE Republicans have reason to be far more optimistic that we have been. I know we look at the changing demographics of the country and the growing immigrant voter blocs and convince ourselves that the Whitehouse will soon be unobtainable. I think the majority of us including myself, thought that would be the case this year.
The last 8 years under Obama proved otherwise, and it is the Democrats facing the crisis, not us.
When things (Hope and Change) don’t go as voters hoped for – bad things happen.
In 2008 WHEN Obama took office Democrats had:
Both Houses of Congress
29 Democrat Governors
27 Democrat State Legislatures.
When Obama leaves Office
Both Houses of Congress controlled by Republicans
17 Democrat Governors
14 Democrat State Legislatures.
A word of warning to the Republicans and Trump. Things can just as easily flip back within 4 years. Do us proud and hit the ground running January 21st and don't look back.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, the Republicans have been handed “A Republic If They Can Keep It”. They have just shy of a 2- year mandate with control of both houses, the Presidency, and with a decent choice for the open SCOTUS position, the Supreme Court as well. Trump doesn’t have to complete every campaign promise, but the people need to see positive changes are happening with the economy. America once again has to be respected and be feared as a World Power on the world stage. The people need to see huge strides against global and domestic terrorism, and the end of ISIS. And first and foremost the dismantling and replacement of Obamacare and hear tell Ben Carson may be appointed to lead that.
