Basically a gambler(one that actually makes money) will not make a bet unless it has a positive expectation of profit. If they lose the bet, it still doesn't mean it was a bad bet to make. Just because you don't like the way this war turned out, doesn't mean it was a bad decision to go to war.
Japan and Germany turned out nicely after we clobbered them. It seems western style democracy can be exported by the barrel of the gun sometimes.
What happens in the long run Iraq remains to be seen.
And then Vietnam showed the world how to beat a titan. You would think that lesson might have stuck, it being a lot more recent than World War II.

And you can run on a platform of "we're going to take health insurance away from 8 million of you." I bet it will go over swimmingly, if the GOP even makes more than a token effort.

Last November, when Obamacare popularity was at its lowest, Democrats ran the table in my former home state of Virginia, winning the gov, lt. gov, AG, and a majority in the House of Delegates, in a state which had been tampon-red up until 2008.
You better hope it works out better this year, because it's pretty much the last chance regressives have of achieving national political relevance.
