Re: American Public About to Send a Message to the Republicans?

I think there's something to this. The war makes Democrats really enraged, but I think they've consistently failed to make a really effective push for Republican votes on the matter. From personal experience, the real issue for moderate Republicans is the complete shittiness of the GOP establishment, particularly in Congress. No real legislative agenda, massive spending, constant scandals. I think it even goes beyond the narrow issues of privacy and freedom.

As a moderate Republican, I agree with several of your points. To be perfectly honest, the right-wing faction scares me more than Hillary. But I don't have any hopes that the Democrats can fix a thing.
My thinking now is that the ideal balance would be a fairly lameduck president and a split house. I figure our economy can outpace the siphoning off of billions, but maybe not the tens of billions, that a single party in control of congress and the presidency can seem to muster.
