Will we have mid term elections as we have known them? (Poll)

2 years is more than enough time for them to get rid of them.

Those who voted the scumbags in are going to be very surprised when they see how fucked up this country gets, and even more surprised when they find out they can't vote them out anymore.

If they do even a quarter of the things they say they’re going to do they’ll be destroyed in the midterms.

Think of the abuse and threats some of our reps and senators have had to put up with, not to mention the local positions like school board. I hope people will still want to do these jobs, but with the almost deadlocked divisions we have, how fulfilling would it be? How dangerous might it become? Especially when you think of a body like the Senate, which is almost always in gridlock.

I just don't know what will happen.
