Since Reid needs them, they have the upper hand.
Now. Not in January.

there hasn’t been a budget passed in an 6 years. They’ll do the finance thing on CR’s. Reid SORT OF needs the House, but not really. We won’t shut the gov’t down, so we’ll cave for something.
In JANUARY the GOP can send Obama a pretty clean budget, choose not to fund the overrun of the US by Mexicans, and if he vetoes it, then the only way to characterize things is that Obama’s willing to shut down the government over making sure people who aren’t citizens get to spend taxpayer money on stuff many of us wishes we had.
He’s not going to veto it. The remaining D’s in the Senate will kill him, possibly literally. The lost on immigration, primarily, and Obamacare. By ‘mostly clean’ if you put in a repeal of the medical device tax its something else that everyone agrees is a good thing, and it guts Obamacare at the same time.
