One of the biggest disappointments for Democrats had to be Texas. They had boots on the ground, lots of money, a believable narrative, great candidates and big hopes for a blue future—and Texas got even redder.

Reid’s sole purpose has been to protect Obama from having to make difficult political and legislative decisions. That protection racket would come to an end with a Republican Senate.
