Combine that victory with the Citizens United ruling that opens the floodgates for corporate money.
Republicans will be flush with cash every election while Democrats can rely on individual $5 contributions. The far right will literally own our democracy, lock, stock and barrel.
And thus the reason why the Democrats cannot get a left winger in their party. Obama is slightly right of center, yet the GOP call him a Marxist.
The GOP will ensure that state protected Mercantilism will be the future for our children. Look at what the Dem's did...force people to buy private insurance.
Why?
Because the Dems have to get into the corporate playing field to ensure their survival, and endearing themselves with big pharma and big insurance is much better than relying on unions who demand to be treated like humans.
