True, there is always a next election. But...

Not every election cycle offers the same kind of hopeful outlook that this election cycle offers. When the chances of gaining more house seats, and taking over the senate are the prizes, one has to tread water very carefully.

Republicans can get more things done with complete control of congress, than with just one chamber.
