If the Republicans lose control of both Houses next year it won't be over the war. It will be because they have done nothing for two years but bicker. They have passed no substanstial legislation to help middle America, instead choosing to reward their big contributors. Instead of passing the mandates middle America sent them to Washington to do, they expended their political capital on helping the upper 5% of Americans. If they Dems really want to win huge next year they need to not only distance themselves as far as they can from the gun control issue but forget about it altogether. Gun control has probably cost the Democrats more than any other political issue but they just can't seem to figure that out.
The troops coming home will do little to help either side in the next election.
