That is true power and the kind people instinctively recognize. That built in ability in us to recognize authenticity is alluded to when Christ Himself says the ’sheep will know the voice of their Master’.

People have not awarding victories to the GOP because it never fulfilled it’s main promises of smaller government, protecting National Security by way of the borders. or reduce spending. It failed to govern as a majority when it had the whole enchilada. Americans don’t reward failure. In fact they (GOP) are in practice no different than their competitors the Democrats.

SP is a fine woman but bowing out of office is a yoke she will carry for the rest of her career – it remains to be seen if she can overcome it.

The question here is that since the GOP and Dems have colluded so carefully as to maintain a iron grip on the regulation to make it hard for individual citizens to challenge them outside of the party mechanism can we turn the juggernaut around and even better can we dismantle it? Voting for the lessor of evils is evil. The GOP will be given back seats soon- not because they deserve them but because they have rigged the system to prevent any other option.. They will play this up in triumphalism and certain naive will think they have effected change. But the change those Republicans get will be the same “Change” so many have received from Obama. It will only be gift wrapped in Red rather than Blue.
