GOP should try to lose the mid-terms on purpose

Yesterday's WSJ has an opinion piece mocking the new left wing analysis first advanced by the NYT and then oft repeated. It goes like this:
If the GOP takes the Senate and holds the House it will be REALLY BAD for the GOP:
a. It will give Hillary the chance to run against an unpopular Congress now controlled totally by Republicans and ensure her landslide victory.
b. With low Dem voter turnout the GOP will falsely assume that the majority of Americans are with them now and they will overreach on legislative initiatives. This will cause a huge backlash in 2016 resulting in the Dems taking the WH, the Senate and the House.
So, if the GOP knows what's good for them they will lose the elections on Nov. 4.
Makes perfect sense.

Media is already applying teflon to hillary's backside so she can slip past the obama connection. IMO doesn't much matter what congress looks like in 2016.

Republicans are going to lose seats in 2016 either way. They'll have more to lose and more republicans will be up for reelection.
They should try to appeal to the majority of their constituents and win the elections.

Except for whole DC is a shitshow dumpster fire and no matter who's elected nothing good will come from it.......so there's that and I'll leave that right here.

Crazy thought here, but with Reid's worthless arse out of the way Congress might actually accomplish something.
I'm not saying the Republicans will accomplish anything but the do nothing congress is as much the Senate's fault as anything.

I'd rather really see the Reps win. Then Obama can have the opportunity of being the vetoingest (I know) president possibly in history.
