There is the harsh reality of the Obama years as harbinger
of the future. Even should the Dems clean sweep, even should the House
and Senate return to their care and even if Hillary should rout Donald,
this is likely what we face from the Republicans:
Obstinate opposition on expanding the number of insured, on
protecting our environment, on endorsing infrastructure projects, on
taxing our wealthiest, on supporting our downtrodden, on legislating
rational gun control, on considering a path to citizenship for 11
million, on opening our hearts and arms to refugees, on appointing
Supreme Court Justices, on closing Guantanamo, on funding for scientific
advances, on recognizing voter suppression, on applauding any project
the President trumpets.
Yes, the Republicans became the party of No after their
resounding defeat in 2008 and my guess is that one bad apple named
Donald will do little to convince them to abandon the core philosophy
that helped usher many of them into office.
