If the Democrats lose, and I mean LOSE it all in 2016, who do you think they will blame?

I'm not optimistic about our chances next fall. Gerrymandering has all but assured Republican control of the House. Democrats have a better chance in the Senate, but need long coattails from the Presidential candidate.

If we don't get those coattails, for whatever reason, and lose the White House to boot, who will be held accountable, and how?

This really should be a poll.

4. If Democrats lose...

It will be because Democrats could not be bothered to show up and vote.

We have a representative democracy. We do not elect leaders, we elect representatives.

So I will blame the voters who did care who their representatives are. Everything Republicans do, those who did not vote deserve

7. Republicans will keep the House, the Senate is up for grabs...but I'll bet you a coke that we have a Democrat in the White house.

10. na ga ha pen...

the pukes are losing steadily in the polls since 2012. They are talking to walls not the real public. It's just getting worse...who can "outcrazy" the next one. They are batshit. I know this is just primary season craziness but some of this stuff is gonna stick once they get into the General. It's worse than I predicted.

They are losing in every demographic, even white males are crumbling.

The push has come to shove early this election cycle.

15. Dunno, can only speak for me.

I will blame anyone who would prefer a Democratic to a Republican government but refused to vote that way because:

- They were upset their preferred candidate wasn't nominated
- They are stupid enough to fall for the Naderite shite that there is no difference (look at Alito and Sotomayor's votes for exhibit A. If you even need exhibits B through ZZ999 plural Z you must have the brains of a lamprey)
- They preferred to make some grand "heroic statement of principle" and vote for throwaway candidates like Greens or Socialists or Communists
- They were too ****ing lazy. I don't care how many jobs you have on what shifts, there is always a way to vote be it absentee or with (mandatory) time off, alternate polling places, or whatever

For the terminally misfire-poutraged please note nothing here says you don't have the right to do any of the above, only that you are a mouthbreathing vapid moronic bane to all right thinking people if you exercise that right.

16. I think the Republicans have a better chance of losing it all. I'm feeling really good considering the pack of loons the republicans are running.

I am waiting for Barry to pull the rug out from under Hillary. Probably right after she gets the nod as nominee is my guess. Barry doesn't care about Dems winning the White House. His major concern is protecting his legacy. By destroying Hillary at the last moment he can get either Slow Joe in or a wild card in place. But who really knows what barry is thinking. I don't put it past him to do something really wild.

2014. The greatest victory in a 100 years.
If we lose it will be due to the RINOs who failed us, not any tricks of the rats.

Look what you're giving them to vote for.

Yes, because the past two mid-terms mean the tea party is dead. Or is it? (twirling mustache).

51. You've misunderstood the question.

The question isn't "Whose fault will it actually be?" it's "If the Democrats lose, and I mean LOSE it all in 2016, who do you think they will blame?"

I've highlighted the key-word there...they're not going to blame voters.

34. who cares about accountability if the GOP runs the entire federal gov't?

that's like getting clean bedsheets for a known incontinent who has declared intentions to shit the bed.

if/when the Republicans win next November, what's left of our fragile system (infrastructure, ecology, national wealth) all gets scrapped or sold off, the middle class gets flushed so 99% of us can be wage slaves for the 1%, while the youth get sent off to our many ensuing wars.

what's the use of accountability in such a society? we'll be pretty much scraping up against the end of history, i don't think calling people to account is going to be particularly high priority.

the important thing is, going forward, how we can protect those who the Republicans will "hold accountable" for what they see as our various societal defects. racial and sexual minorities, undocumented immigrants and those who the White Enforcer Squads think might be here illegally, elderly and disabled victims of medicare & medicaid cuts, young people returning from the wars with PTSD and life changing injuries to a woefully underfunded VA: all these people will need assistance from those who care and can still afford to give it. it will be a very dark time for tens of millions of people.

and it won't be just 4 years, or 8, or 12. if they get it all, they'll keep it until it's broken beyond recognition.

accountability be damned, this is a must-win for us. or nothing matters anymore, including accountability.

Buzzy, you cheap SoB. Have you donated even one cent to any of your begging DUmmies brethren yet? Or, is your mouth still writing bad checks?
