Let’s wait and see about the new democratic control of congress

Here’s why. We the people have elected many new representatives to the congress, both in the house and the senate. I believe most are more USA country oriented than party oriented. In English, these new people who changed control of the congress will seek and vote the country first, then their party, and then their ego. Right or wrong, that is what I think.

Never the less, the old time democratic leaders who get to assume the mantel of control in both houses appear to be out of touch. By that I mean, they can no longer dictate their politics and policies and votes to their minions, even if they think so based on the old days. In turn, many democrats (and republicans) are from a newer school of politics that thinks of our nation’s interests first. That there are differences of politics is obvious; that representatives will vote their personal and local politics is the change from the past. Intimidation from the leaders will fail, or at least be diminished.

This idea is not a fluff piece, as in a Rodney King “can we all just get along?” idea.

It is about the serious issues of our country, which is the best in the world’s history, but also can fail like Rome.

I am hopeful, but let’s wait and see. If things do not sort out, then we can vote again in two years. Hopefully our country will still be around.
