I'm not sure where he thinks he's got his mandate from. I mean the only reason his party made gains is because a lot of Americans are really ******* stupid and think their ideas to shrink the government until we're Somalia are swell and logical.
Repugnicans don't quit want it to be Somalia, but several other 3rd world nations where they can outright buy /bribe the govt and don't have to worry about the D()*()med middle class seems to be their wet dream.
