So what would the GOP do with the Senate if they got it?

With the senators we have now nothing changes. McCain et al must be retired with every primary opportunity.

Republicans will do nothing.
Wanna bet?

Sadly, I’ve reached the point that I believe that even if you gave them 100% of the seats, they still wouldn’t do the things that are the most critically important to the saving of the republic.

“Share power”, bloviate, make excuses for failing to move the ball on freedom, mealy-mouth, and surrender even though they outnumber their enemies. They’re the GOP, what did you think they were going to do?

They would follow McCain and Mini-McCain in giving the Democrats a reach-... er, across.

If the Republicans win the Senate there will be an increase in the number of executive orders.

There are a lot of defeatist posts to this thread.
If the republicans take control of the senate (highly likely),
it would still not be enough to push back the federal behemoth.
But, it would be enough to stop the beast’s advance.
Even (wishful thinking) with 60 votes in the Senate,
no, it would not be enough votes for impeachment, and
no, it would not be enough votes to override a presidential veto.
Budget bills would likely result in another government shutdown,
and it would sit squarely on the head of the executive branch.
Unqualified judges appointed?

The same thing they did under Jorge Arbusto el Segundo: NOTHING. We had it all and the pubbies threw it all away. No second chances when the Republic is on the line. So, the Senate should stay Democrat? Is that what you're saying?

Give up? Surrender? Continue the ‘fundamental transformation of America’ that Barry started, but maybe ease up on the gas a teeny tinny bit?

What they SHOULDN’T do is roll back the nuclear option. At least not until they’ve rubbed the Democrats’ faces in it.

Unless the GOP fully embraces the TP, they have NO hope of taking the Senate....NONE!

they can control and work in sync with the house.
obama will veto everything.
if both have veto-proof majorities they can override the vetoes.
they can begin impeachment and vote on removal after impeachment and succeed if they had the balls.

Unfortunately we've already seen what the GOP does when in control of all 3 branches of govt. during the Bush years. They spent like drunken democrats and kowtowed to business interests like kept women. I hold little hope for substantial change if they do regain the Senate.

The Republicans would feel terribly guilty so they would share power with Obama, Reid and their Democrat Party colleagues. It would be the ultimate "reach across the aisle" moment in Republican Party history. The media would praise them (after a relentless period of public bashing & psychological warfare.) The Republicans would feel proud and believe that the Democrats and their Media Establishment finally would love them.
What a beautiful time it will be. Peace, love and harmony! Just watch those Republicans sit up on the hind legs for the Democrats and beg for a bone.
