D.C. has Jiu-Jitsu Mandate
The electoral map looks strikingly similar to the one four years ago, but the post-election landscape could not be more different. Four years ago, the president went to Washington with a mandate for sweeping “change,” Democratic control of the House and a filibuster-proof Senate.
This time, he faces the same sort of divided government that for the past two years has given us gridlock, a bitter partisan divide and an electorate that can only be described as a house divided.
Is there a mandate in any of this?
