Republicans play for keeps

Some are predicting that a blue wave will crash the shores of the current Congress, resulting in a consequential shift in power.

On the other side, the red team is reported to have a reinvigorated base that will maintain the status quo with November victories.

Here is the reality: The red team has already won. With the appointment of two associate justices, the judicial branch of the government has shifted to its most conservative in decades, and that will not change with the midterm election results.

The legislative and executive branches may change as often as every two years, but the judicial branch is set in stone until death or retirement. Furthermore, the red team plays for keeps, while the blue team wrings its hands and cries foul.

Don’t be surprised if on Nov. 7, you awaken to a continued red majority with a stunning red sweep in Nevada, as well.

What can you do if you don’t want it that way? Vote!
