The GOP getting 51 seats is no gain. They are cowards mostly and will accomplish little, if anything at all. They will simply cave and Obama will continue to rule his empire by executive order and the bums of the GOP will do absolutely nothing about it. They haven’t far, why should be believe they will now.
Well, if we elect cowards who are Republicans, you have a good point. Control of the Senate should imply that the GOP is going to do battle with Obama. If they don’t then none of this will make any difference.
While I hope the senate flips, not thrilled with the rinos... But the knothead in me would love to see a 50/50 split so the rinos get a taste of what the Dems do in that situation (hint: it won’t be the Trent Lott power sharing).
For all of the above scenarios, the action is going to be what unlawful executive orders President Ebola has in store.
The one thing I hope they keep when we get the Senate is the 50 votes for judicial picks. We need to put in conservatives to counter the hundreds of liberals that were put into judicial spots. That is going to hurt for generations. When the Senate changed the rules, we lost.
I think things will be a lot different if they are in the majority. Cruz and Lee will be the ideological heart and soul, not McConnell and Collins. With a House majority, we could make things happen, and set the stage for 2016.
A Cochran lose in MS is going to cost the Whigs big time. F course that assumes that they want to win in the first place.
