A logical corollary to Blackwell’s point is that the GOP must retain the Senate. But apparently, advocating that the GOP retain the Senate is contrary to the agendas of some around here....
Even a truly Conservative President will not be able to get much done if Chuck Schumer is Senate Majority Leader.
The Republicans (RINOs and all) need to hold onto the Senate for at least the next two years. The President and the Congress would then have two years to undo the last 8 years of Obamanation. Any RINOs that refuse to support the President and help roll over the Democrats would be at the top of the list for replacement in the 2018 and 2012 primaries.
