2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumVote the GOP Bums out!
It is becoming quite clear that the GOP needs to learn even more on how to govern from the average voter. The GOP seems intent on destroying the middle class wage earners. Vote the GOP Bums Out!
They need to learn a lesson.

OP
Until they are voted out, take away their pork by removing the military bases from their States.

Even if it could not be pushed through the House, talking about it could send a message. n/t

Cutting defense is always tough, but in the fiscal cliff there is a portion of defense cuts that might be used. How could we get it through the house?

...and yes, their PEOPLE have to figure this out and vote their butts out. Maybe when their PEOPLE lose their jobs and have to go job hunting, and all they find are minimum wage jobs with no benefits or union representation, and then they lose their minimum wage job because they live in a Right To Work state, and their bills go unpaid, and their house is foreclosed on, and they have to file bankruptcy because one of their kids fell ill and the medical bills piled up to the roof, and the family has to live in the car, and they can't afford the gas for the car in the winter because they have to constantly gas up, and the gas prices go sky high, and they have to move into a homeless shelter with the family.......
maybe THEN they'll vote the bums out.

Not being lazy, but those who can map upcoming elections cycles could be very helpful here.
