. . . it's TWELVE MORE YEARS -- and could be many, many more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2012:
-- Obama re-elected
-- Democrats gain 2-3 Senate seats, GOTP still has enough seats to filibuster everything (which they do)
-- Democrats take control of the House.
2016:
-- Hillary Clinton wins the White House in a historic landslide, never seen since the days when FDR nuked the Republican Party.
-- Democrats gain filibuster-proof Senate majority
-- Democrats pick up more House seats as the GOTP fades into the trash bin of history
2020:
-- A repeat of 2016
Think about this -- between 2012 (Obama re-elected) and 2024 (Clinton's second term ends) four or five SCOTUS justices will retire, enabling Democratic presidents to appoint real justices to the Court.
And beyond 2024 . . .
Just the prospect of this future makes me all giddy inside . . . time for another pitcher of Bloody Mary's!!!
