2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumConservative bloggers unhappy with Senate results
Conservatives must start by confronting the fact that the 2012 election was a historic victory for the American Left, probably its greatest since 1936, wrote Jeffrey Bell at National Reviews The Corner blog. He added later, Particularly galling for conservatives is the defeat of every Republican challenger for the U. S. Senate, coupled with apparent Democratic victories in 25 of a possible 33 races.

(16,402 posts)[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Time to get with the 21st Century, conservatives. Open your eyes!
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block of the hall,
For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled.
There's a battle outside and it's raging.
It will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,
For the times they are a-changin'.

Ugh, I am so angry at the apathy of key voting blocs in the 2010 election. I don't even think they understand the consequences of their actions.
