From the article:

"So what should Republicans do?

First, remind voters at every turn that we have a long-term entitlement spending crisis and that the Obama administration has contributed to that crisis — primarily by creating an entitlement benefit for the nonelderly that is not paid for in any realistic way.

Second, signal a willingness to negotiate with the president and with Democrats in Congress to reform the entitlement programs that almost everyone agrees must be reformed.

Third, avoid the appearance of trying to force the White House to reform Social Security and Medicare against the president’s wishes.

Finally, avoid voting for budgets that have no chance of passage and that imply deep cuts in Social Security and Medicare."


Good advice to the republicans, but they won't listen. Let Obama hang himself.

There is a huge problem with this article. The Rats threw everything they had to get the House back this election cycle and it failed. I don't think there is a scenario where a Rat candidate would be acceptable in these districts that they need to regain control. Anyone who runs will have the stain of Obamacare over their heads for years to come. THe other thing is that the Rats used such divisive politics to get Zero reelected that there are now areas of the country where the Rat party is dead.

Yeah, that's what we thought about Obama but he went right back in for another four years....but I hope you're right. It's so much fun to think about Pelosi losing...again..

We just had an election where GOP turnout was lousy and the Rats/Pelosi specifically targeted the swing seats they need to get back the House. They spent millions. There wasn't a better scenario for them to regain the House, yet it failed massively. They only picked up a couple.

Pelosi specifically had a "Drive for 25" program to target "easy" Rat seat pickups and it totally failed. What exactly can they do in an off year election when GOP turnout is generally way higher than Rat turnout? Absolutely nothing.
