As the economic situation worsens, I’m here to warn conservatives that this wrath will turn back on the GOP and conservatives if they don’t produce results.
Producing results will require breaking rules of the “conventional wisdom” inside DC. For example, immigration will have to be restricted to reduce the surplus in the labor pool. We’ll have to examine our trade policy - and why “free trade” is neither “free” nor working for us. We’ll have to examine our tax system, as well as take ruthless axes to spending on “stimulus” projects that are useless twaddle (like green energy).
All of this has to be addressed ASAP - and we’re not yet talking about the entitlement beast that is devouring the US budget, nor public employee pensions that cannot be sustained, etc.
I seriously doubt that much of this will actually be addressed with real solutions. There are too many self-indulgent interests who place themselves and their interest ahead of the interest of the entire country and have decided that they’re going to seek financial gain through rent-seeking. They control the fiscal and monetary policy of the US now, and they don’t give a rat’s rear end what happens to the schlubs in flyover country.
Then they'd better hail the return of strict tariff laws!
The ONLY way to get manufacturing jobs back is to price the world out of the competition.
Either that or a collapse of our monetary system.

If the gop gets the Senate and the Presidency and does what it did last time it had them, 2016 will not be pretty. Results matter.

Yep.
For just one small example, really “reducing the size and influence of government” translates to “firing lots of government employees” as surely as night follows day.
You can’t reduce the overreach of the EPA for instance, unless you eliminate a number of EPA initiatives and directives ALONG WITH the employees that administer them.
Who actually believes this will happen?
You are dead-on right with your first part.
I’ve never been a Romney fan, you can go back a check my posts, I thought he was the worst by far the Republicans could put on the ticket.
After the campaign, I’m no longer as certain. I think he actually means to govern the way he has campaigned, including his promises. If he does that (assuming he can get Congress to go along, and I think he can) I am going to be a really happy American.
