Best thing that could have happened for Hillary

Assuming she is running.

The media spent the last two years tearing down obama and his policies and predicting a gop night and it happened.

Now its the GOPs turn. More then anything the media likes huge sweeping loud money driven political shifts, especially ones they are driving. Good for business good for ratings. I fully expect the media to turn on the gop and build up hillary and the dems over the next two years.

There are not going to be any major legislative changes over the next two years. The next two years are going to make the last 4 seem like the most productive congress ever. Its going to be benghazi, impeachment, tax cuts for the rich, repealing obamacare and at the end of it the country is going to be just as pissed off at the lack of anything getting done that actually helped them.

And there will be hillary every step of the way pointing out the gops failures with a willing media ready to help her become the next president. She doesnt have to run against half a republican controlled congress and half a democrat controlled congress now. She can fire off all the cannons at full blast.

Plus the youth vote in 2016. Oh my. With Pot becoming legal in 3 places during a gop tide election, just think how many states are going to try to get it on the ballot in the next two years.

Hillary, a willing media and Pot. Thats how the dems win in 2016.

But it's not what we need.

We need a progressive, or at least a real democrat.

Let hillary ride her name to the white house while bringing along someone who really understands and will have influence in hillarys circle?

I don't think Hillary has the capacity to share the spotlight and they are not particularly on the same page politically.

McConnell will have his hands full with Cruz biting at his ankles. We will get to see how awful they really are..

Since 2004.
When they were so happy Kerry lost to Bush to help HRC position herself for 2008. And in 2006 also when they helped Reps and Bushies to keep Congress. ..for the very same reasons.

Thank you for this needed OP.
