I’m afraid republicans have learned nothing from this election. I have this sneaky feeling that republicans in the house will continue along the lines they have been operating the last two years. There will be no compromise when it comes to raising taxes on the rich, and they will let the country go over the cliff, and then will blame democrats and Obama for the failure. As long as there are leaders in the house like Ryan, Cantor and the teabagger element which will hold the republicans up on any compromise. They still believe that the country is right of center, and it was Romney being a bad candidate for the reason they lost.
