What Happens if Republicans Win

It’s time for Republicans to give serious thought to what happens if they win the Senate and House this November, as it looks increasingly that they will. While not exactly Pyrrhic, this victory will present a whole range of potential problems and traps that could negatively affect this country’s future and the world. And as we know, we are living in precarious times.

Barack Obama is a man unaccustomed to losing. Life has been exceptionally kind to him, sailing, as he did, through balmy Oahu sunsets, college, law school and career on into the presidency with scarcely a bump. He has been a protected man beyond any in recent memory, feted and praised virtually everywhere he went until the last couple of years. Even now, despite catastrophe after catastrophe, there are acolytes who continue to celebrate him, paying tens of thousands merely to have their photographs taken with him.

When such cosseted people are forced to confront failure, they typically do not do so with grace. They are rarely able to admit fault, as if even a crack in their pristine facades could lead to extreme personality disintegration. We have already seen manifestations of this in Obama’s refusal to acknowledge something so obvious as his own inability to foresee the dangers of ISIS, aka the JV team. Insider books by Robert Gates, Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta have appeared in rapid succession, implying or directly alleging that the president lives in a bubble, unwilling to listen to advice. He frequently threatens to — and sometimes does — go around the Congress to get his way via, often unconstitutional, executive fiat. We all know that he lies,constantly.

This man is angry but highly unlikely to go into an anger management program. Imagine what will happen after November. We could be looking at behavior that would fit the very definition of “acting out,” anti-social but on a global scale. And he still has two more years in office.

I think if the R's win, the first ballot in both houses will be the Impeachment one.

When they win, they need to flood the white house with common-sense/benefit the public bills that Harry and Nancy have been stonewalling for the last six years. If POSPOTUS vetoes them, it will be easy to show the public how he truly wants this country to fail...if he signs them, it will be easy to show the public the damage done by Harry these past few years. Either way, it will show how bad the Democrats have been for this country of late.

Humiliate POSPOTUS to this level and guarantee taking the White House in 2016. If we try to kick him out, it will only embolden the Dumbocrat base that voted for him for the stupid reasons.

9:26 There will be no elections in 2016. Obama will declare Martial Law so that he will remain in power.

IMHO, I believe that a military coup would occur before or shortly after any order of Martial Law. And, I'd back it.

I see it coming and if my friends in the military are foolish enough to take sides with him I feel sorry for them.
