"I THINK EVERYONE -SHE PROVED TO BE A LEADER AND SHE WILL WIN IN A LANDSLIDE--SO ALL YOU HATERS OF HER----ITS TIME TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND JUST WATCH HER WIN --REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN A DYING BREED AND THEY HAVE TAKEN THIER (sic) LAST BREATH"

According to Wikipedia, this is a little of the history of the Democratic and Republican Parties. I remember when I was young, if you wanted to vote here in Lake Worth you had to register as a Democrat as there were very few Republicans around here.

As of the U.S. gubernatorial elections of 2010, the Republican Party holds an outright majority of approximately 440 with 3,890 seats (53% of total) compared to the Democratic party's number of 3,450 (47% of total) seats elected on a partisan ballot.^[1] Of the 7,382 seats in all of the state legislatures combined, independents and third parties account for only 15 members, not counting the 49 members of the Nebraska Legislature, which is the only legislature in the nation to hold non-partisan elections to determine its members.

Due to the results of the 2010 elections, Republicans took control of an additional 19 state legislative chambers, giving them majority control of both chambers in 25 states versus the Democrats' majority control of both chambers in only 16 states, with 8 states having split or inconclusive control of both chambers (not including Nebraska); previous to the 2010 elections, it was Democrats who controlled both chambers in 27 states versus the Republican party having total control in only 14 states, with eight states divided and Nebraska being nonpartisan.

Now I realize that Obama has really screwed up the dynamic -- People believed in him and voted for him because he had great promises (remember all that hope and change?) and he was Black proving to themselves that they had zero innate prejudices. They were low information voters and now nearly seven years later we are with a disastrous economy, a crumbling foreign policy, an unmanageable nightmare called Obamacare, and nearly $7 trillion more in debt.Consequently socialism filtered our society like it never has before but Republicans still are in control of the House and of the Senate.  We just need more of them to move this country in the right direction.

By the time Obama leaves office, the national debt will be $19.1 trillion dollars.  The total national debt was $10.6 trillion when he took office in 2009 and now is $18.165 trillion, nearly twice what it was when he first took office. On top of everything else, we are losing prestige all over the world...even Putin and ISIS are soaring ahead.
