Nice thoughts, KB. The problem is, the Republicans are part of the problem, not the solution. Right now, the only realistic options we have are 2012 and Trump. That is one more option than we had even a few weeks ago, so things are looking up. :)
A majority is a great inconvenience to the GOP. It definitely takes time away from the real business of Congress, which is business. "Let the Democrats give their obedient peasants whatever the hell they want. We have bigger fish to fry!"
