Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus predicted Tuesday the 2014 midterm elections would have the force of a "tsunami" in delivering GOP election victories across the country.
Priebus spoke to reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor on the anniversary of a so-called "autopsy" of the state of the party after the 2012 election.
Much of the report suggested reforms to the next presidential election cycle, like shortening the primary cycle and reducing the number of debates. Other insights included strengthening minority outreach and backing policies like comprehensive immigration reform.
Not all of those reforms have been implemented, but Priebus still sees victory in 2014 because of Obamacare, which he calls a "poisonous" issue for Democrats.
"I think we're in for a tsunami-type election in 2014," he said, according to the Washington Post."My belief is that it's going to be a very big win, especially at the U.S. Senate level, and I think we may even add some seats in the congressional races."
Priebus said that the problems with the health care law would actually the party make gains with women and young voters because, "It's very, very, very personal among women losing your doctor, getting your insurance canceled."
He added, according to Politico, "Obamacare is intentionally designed to screw young people over. Actuaries sat down, decided, let's just screw over everyone 35 and younger. That's what they did."
To the last quote... :clap:

I ain't holding my breath, Reince. You've got a long way to go and it's uphill into a 40 mph gale.
Until you've factored in the vote fraud and the clear ability of the Dems to outmaneuver your worthless ass, you're just pissing into that 40 mph gale-force wind.
Try not to get wet, mmmkay? :whatever:

4. Depends on four things
1. How many people believe right wing lies in the news and in political ads
2. How many of those people vote
3. How many of us don't bother to vote.
4. How effective the right wing voter suppression and gerrymandering is.
:whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

Absolutely agreed Eupher.

If Reince and the other old guard muddlers like McConnell and McCain keep trying to drive the TEA Party, Social Conservatives, and Libertarian Conservatives off, they have a pretty good chance of screwing the pooch pretty royally on the whole thing.

They have a long list of "gotcha" questions already scripted so be prepared.
