Yeah, Republicans lose the Presidency if either of these happen.

Well, the senate numbers are possible. Have a great 2016, holding everything and getting NV and CO, then defeat all 5 Romney state senators that are up in 2018. The House numbers seem VERY far fetched though.

Scot Walker is possible VP is not and House is not as dems will gain in 2018 though they will lose 5+ seats in the Senete in 2018 and if GOP win in 2016 is say there is +1 Republican shift in house and senete

My predictions

President: Hillary Clinton
Vice President: Julian Castro
House: GOP 258 Dems 177
Senete GOP 60 Dems 40( Dems gain Ill, NH, Pen in 2016 and lose 9 seats in 2018)

I doubt it. If Walker goes in for such polarising legislation, it would be impossible to achieve rosy midterms that would be required for such sweeps of the Senate, House and States. That is pretty much a fact.

Also the public tends to freak out whenever a political party gains significant majorities in congress while holding the presidency.    That stuff never lasts long.

The chance for overwhelming the Dems with a Presidential sweep was 2012, which could have given us a 61-39 Senate if literally every possible seat blew our way with no mistakes.


Winning back to back is highly unlikely, though if one person has a record of fighting it out not just when he is up, but also when his party is up, it is Scott Walker who managed to salvage the recalls, The Judicial race and his own hide twice after being first elected and pursuing a controversial agenda. Repeating that nationwide is possible, but difficult.

Abortion illegalization is tricky because of the court and that probably takes longer than 2019 to achieve because you need to appoint people to the Court and confirm them, and then pass legislation that a court would use a couple of years down the road to overturn Roe. The court could also throw out both Roe and the said test law, leaving it up to the states.

You could get a 20 weeks bill though under that scenario and fairly quickly.

One thing to keep it mind is that if you try to impose something on someone that they disagree with, chances are they will get angry and vote you out.  You can legislate all you want, but if you are losing the war, winning the battle can be pyrrhic and self defeating. Worse, it could result in the election of people who will go to the other extreme and repeal current pro-life legislation.

Ha.....Well, truth be told, I can't rule it out considering how the GOP is insisting on another Romney-style candidacy!

No chance the Republicans get a good midterm if they go for legislation like that.

As long as I live I'll never understand how openly hoping for poor voter turnout in a democracy isn't universally seen as being in extremely bad taste.

Very small. And, of course, it would be followed by a huge Dem landslide in 2020.

Great Depression, Version 2 is underway.

Unions are effectively abolished.

Interstate Highway system privatized to monopoly profiteers.

US Postal Service ends, so it costs $10 to send a letter through UPS or FedEx -- at the least.

American living standards are no better than those in Mexico.

Many middle-class American youth defect after the Junior Year in France/Germany/Spain/Italy/etc.
