    Red Herd Contingencies For a Blue Wave
    Wondering what plans the Red Herd has for the likely blue wave on election day, that may result in Democrats controlling the presidency and both houses of congress in 2021?

    I realize this is a nightmare scenario for you, but it’s still likely to happen, so how do you hedge your bets against having all your petty hatreds and fears becoming, once again, delegitimized?

    With all due respect so long as 1 party controls 41 senate seats no major changes ever happen.

    The illegal Obamacare care vote being an exception since it was passed under budgetary guidelines (51 votes) and o ly after Al Franken found 7500 votes in the trunk of a car two weeks after election day.

      A number of democratic senators have stated, if they take over the senate, they will eliminate the 60 vote requirement. It only requires a vote of 51 senators (or 50 senators + VP) to change that rule. It is similar to the "nuclear" option McConnell's used to change Supreme Court justice selections.

      S#it will hit the fan if they change the rule but I expect it will happen if they take over.

        I agree. I think Senate revenge will be the rule if the Democrats win a simple majority; and that could mean lights-out for the Republican party, and standard (non-racist-based) conservatism for decades to come, thanks to changing demographics.

          Somebody needs a little education.

          I'll just refer here, at least to start you off.



          That's all one can do, try to educate. I have done that here.

          Carry on and good luck.

            Likely to happen? Looooooooool. Keep believing those fake news polls. Unreal these people think they will win. Just like Hillary right? Election night will be beautiful watching the crybabies when they lose again.

              There is no blue wave. If anything, some of these states they have been burning down may flip red. People will not be held hostage by the Democrats and their loser protesters.

                  75 year plan down the drain, unlike the swamp. If RFK & MLK hadn't been KKKed, Nixon would have lost. 1932-1980 , no Republican presidents? Holding hostages to discredit Carter 1979, no H/Reagan, 12 year reign of terror? Law & Order/Police State not OK W/Me, 1% greatest tool 2 fool, Know Foolin'.
