That has always been the rap against Republican Congressmen since they first retook the House after 40 years in 1994-1995.

They said that Republicans were so used to being in the minority that they didn't know how to (or were just plain uncomfortable at) using majority tactics.

Republicans shouldn't fear leading, but I'm afraid that they too often cower from power.

Just like how liberals try to shame America from using its strength against others (i.e., proportional response), they are also successful at convincing Republicans against using their strength when they take control of Congress. Democrats slam Republicans at every turn, but always make Republicans "reach across the aisle" for "bipartisan compromise" when Republicans have control.

Agree completely. I don’t want to play too loose, but we know there’ll be treachery in our own ranks. Controlling the Senate gives us control over committees, but if Dems undermine us every step of the way they’ll run on they had control of everything, etc. You can see how this will go.

Come January you know they’ll have stories about hobos, women dying from back room abortions, children starving to death, etc.
