The only thing republicans have been building are sandcastle and bank accounts. They only won because dens are such colossal screw ups. They’ve done nothing and accomplished nothing positive in over a decade. You can only swing on reagans sack for so long. Republicans want amnesty for their wealthy business friends. They will do nothing, and when their pitiful voters scream in protest, they will laugh because they know their supporters will walk right in and keep pulling that R level till dead.

FWIW, this time it's different, I think. People who don't particularly even like Republicans voted as they did to stop the president. Keep in mind that on those occasional times that the 'pubs did campaign on the issues it was (1)stopping and reversing the invasion of the US, (2) getting rid of Obamacare and (3) approving Keystone. An unspoken issue might well have been a "Ferguson Effect", that is a backlash that supports rule by law. The Republicans now own the issues, not the dems.

If they govern as if it were the Chamber of Commerce that elected them, the contempt of voters will be beyond comprehension.

What the voters did was give the Republicans enough rope. They can either climb up and off the slippery slope with it or hang themselves. I don't think they get another chance.
