Congressional elections are over, and as a result, the 2016 Presidential Election Season has officially begun. In many ways, it feels like the 2016 Election cycle has been undereway longer and with more enthusiasm than this year’s mid-term elections ever managed, but even so, the elections this year produced a clear, decisive winner. The people have spoken. If their expressed will doesn’t get the country moving in at least some kind of direction, I know that I personally will be quite disappointed.
The GOP now has an opportunity to prove something. If it wants to win in 2016, the party of Lincoln and Roosevelt had better get to work. It needs to show people that it can do more than just heckle from the cheap seats, or it risks again being banished to the wilderness like it was in 2008.
