The Republicans Are in Big Trouble: Mid-term elections prediction for 2014

57. It's possible they'll get it anyway.

There is no shortage of suckers out there and disinterest would have to go several layers deep to keep second- and third- tier interests from jumping into the money-vacuum. If Citizens United is not dramatically altered, there may be several cycles of moneyed interests getting burned, jumping out, and being replaced by others willing to play a hand--it may be endless.

But money, it turns out, can only steer perception when people are not financially stressed. Republicans went out of their way to financially stress a vast majority of Americans, and it actually worked in their favor from 2008-2010.

After that their behavior started disproportionately harming their own constituents--all Republican Wal-Mart workers, as a front-page example, are now threatened whenever a Republican publicly tries to cut food stamps. It's a lot tougher to delude someone when the result takes food from their children.

It's a flippin' travesty that it had to come to this. Unforgivable--and I hope former Republican voters manage to remember that.
