Clearly we cannot count on a Republican controlled Congress to accomplish anything. However, it is absolutely necessary to keep the House and Senate under Republican contol in order for a Conservative President to accomplish anything. There is not much that President Cruz or Trump will be able to get through a Senate controlled by Chuckie Schumer.

So my biggest priorities next year are to elect a Conservative President and keep the Republicans in control of Congress. That will give them two years to reverse eight years of Obamanation.

2018 will be the year to take start cleaning out all of the RHINOs.

The federal government is dysfunctional and beyond repair. It will collapse of its own weight. Having a majority in the Senate is counterproductive in this dysfunctional reality. The minority party has veto power. The GOP is more effective in the Senate when it is the minority in the Senate.

Not even Reagan could reverse the trend, and the courts and bureaucracies are firmly in favor of "more government power."

If you believe your efforts will fix the problem(s), you will eventually be heartbroken. Government will never propose, let alone effect a solution to itself.
