Representatives in the U.S Congress ,are suppressing the Votes of People of Colour is due
to the fact that White Men are becoming the
Minority in the United States of America .All
the Data & books on the subject , indicate this fact .

This does not sit well with most white men .
This has been in the cards for decades ; and frankly they are scared about this eventually .Equally as important is the fact that President has now made it impossible for them to get the Latino vote for at least a decade .

In essence by not passing the Immigration Bill that was approved by the Senate , in the House , Speaker Boehner may have won a battle , but he has surely lost the War .

Speaker Boehner is also hamstrung by the Right Wing Radicals in his Party ,who are in the House of Representatives ; and want to
shutdown the Government .

Now the American People in my opinion , aint going to take it lightly if the Republicans
decide to shutdown the Government . Doing that is going to e very unhelpful to the
Republican Party 2016 .

They are going to be hammered by the Democratic Party in the 2016 General Elections , most People of Colour turn out
to vote during the General Elections , than
during the Midterm Elections which were held on the 4th November this year .

The Republicans got full control of the government before they were ready. They are like a whiny, spoiled teenager on the brink of adulthood...wonderfully idealistic but immature and impatient. Unsure of themselves they are going to continue to stumble along until they grow up. McConnel and Boehner have a great deal of work to do to get the republicans singing from one hymn sheet.

U know in many ways it reminds me of the earliest days of the republican party. When they were converting from the Whig and incorporating the other factions into the one party. The party needs A LEADER around whom they can galvanize. Like when it came down to Seward and Lincoln for the presidency in 1860. But such a man is hard to find and even worse to convince the tea party faction to accept.

So the Republicans are being crippled by the tea party faction. But they cannot get rid of them without doing irreparable damage to the party 2 years before the big election....potentially against Hillary. I do not see any other serious democratic candidates emerging and with Bill firmly behind Hillary, the Dems have a strong case. All the Dems have to do is watch and wait for the Republicans to disintegrate. Next year is going to be critical for the GOP.

Mitch and John HAVE TO pass an immigration bill sooner rather than later INSTEAD of shutting down the government. Between that and the Supreme Court ruling on the ACA should give them enough positive momentum. But...and this is critical....they must wrestle their own internal demons and bring them into line before they rip the party apart.

It is very likely that they may lose the Senate in 2016 ; especially now that they will be in control of both the House & Senate .

Because in January when they take over , if they show by their actions that they are incapable of governance , they will pay a heavy price in the General Elections .

They would have no excuse for not doing the Business of the People . I expect that
they are going to have divisions in their ranks , and that may force Boehner & Mc Conell to do doing things that they are
not in favour of doing .

May? Ur hedging your bets on it? This is heading to a straight out show down in the GOP. Mitch and John cannot control the tea party without crushing them outright. The GOP will likely implode as the tea party will not go quietly. Come February things will get very interesting.
