Yes, it's speculation and the worst possible scenarios as usual for the Reps/Cons. No one including the Reps, Dems, tea-baggers, GOP, Independants, Liberals, Progressives et al have a crystal ball to see into the future. All any of us can do is speculate.
I find the negativity of the Reps/Cons a real bummer. A downer. And even more of a downer is they b###h and whine and cry about everything - and have NO SOLUTIONS! It's just the same old tax breaks for their masters, the same old destruction of the environment, the same old accusations against the president....
The windbag blathering about getting rid of the illegals isn't going to cure this nation's ills.
To add to the ills, the Reps voted to stop funding PP so that poor women no longer can get the reproductive care and advice they need. Just another bummer/downer for the nation.
