Please explain what a Senate controlled by McConnell would do to Obama's agenda that would be different under Harry Reid? Would McConnell pass a law defunding Obamacare? Doubtful, but if he did, would he shut down the government when Obama vetoes the budget over it? Would McConnell raise the debt ceiling and give Obama all the spending he demands? Would McConnell, in his position as majority leader, use his power of the purse to get GOPe challengers their funding to take on Ted Cruz in Texas? You bet.

I want to know what we get from a majority for the next two years. I don't think we get anything out of it, frankly, except a lot of stupid gestures that Obama uses to fire up his base. If Ted Cruz could be made majority leader, that would be different. The House had Newt in 1994, and he was a conservative strategist who could make Clinton cave. No one like that around in the GOPe. So the hell with McConnell, Linda and Cochran. Get a conservative in the White House in 2016 and then we can talk about the things the Senate can do.

And then there’s the amnesty that McConnell would pass.

OK that's what so many disagree about - whether it would be better to have a majority but to include a few rinos up this fall... or to allow Harry Reid to have the majority but expel a few rinos.

Well he said he would restore the filibuster.
