It might not work the way Republican party elites will like it to work, I will like to remind you since Obummer took office, Republican have won 14 Senate seats, 69 House seats, 12 governorships, and 910 state legislature seats. If this is a failed strategy for a political party, show me a successful strategy.[/quote]
Not unusual that the party that loses the Presidential election picks up seats in the next cycles – it has worked that way often.
But they are doing mind-numbingly dumb things.
Let’s look at Oklahoma. Republican governor, Senate and House. Running a $1.3B deficit for the next fiscal year. That’s $420 for each man, woman and child in the state.
The starting pay for teachers is $31,600 in Oklahoma and they have a shortage that caused 850 classrooms to go unstaffed due to teacher shortage (I wonder why?). What is the Republican’s answer to all of this? SB1187 which eliminates the requirement for teachers to be certified and for districts to participate in the teacher retirement construct or do background checks on teachers. This bill will likely pass the Republican house and be signed by the Republican governor. Yessirree Bob, they have a crack leadership team in OK!
