keep the White House and Senate and manage to take back the house...

will we get more of what we got in '08-'10? So much demo infighting the republicrats were able to set the agenda and control the narritive?

Something tells me we will. Unfortunately, the dems are notorious for not taking advantage of opportunties politically they have. The '08-'10 majorities are a screaming example of that. They were handed a super-majority on a silver platter and pissed it away in clubs. Our country would be soooo much better off if they had a backbone then... if they had cohesiveness and a consistant message with the courage to back it up with voting as a block like the republicrats did.
As much as I dislike the republicrats, because they stood together, they were able to block just about everything including a super-majority advantage.
Like Devon Patrick said... they need a backbone
If it does come to pass we get control of all three again, we NEED to take advantage of it to quell the tide of republicrat terrorism that has been allowed to happen across this great country.
