If Republicans Take the Senate...

I'll take: 'Shallow threats and Empty promises" for $500 Alex

In the worst case scenario I would be alert to another Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords situation.

I disagree. The worst case scenario is not the worst case scenario. I fully expect the Democrats to squeak out “unexpected” wins to retain the Senate. Rampant voter fraud is ignored by the media who claim that poor polling data and improving economic conditions undid the Republicans. McConnell and Boehner say that the people have spoken and bend over even more to accommodate Obama. Whatever they don’t give Obama he takes by executive action. Millions of illegals are granted amnesty by mid November. This is the worst case scenario and, sadly, most likely.

The Republicans pick up the seats needed for a majority, but lack a clear cut victory or strong mandate from the people.

What is a "mandate?" It is whatever the victor declares. Didn't Clinton declare a mandate after winning with 43% of the vote?

If the Republicans had any balls, they would declare a mandate (control of the Senate did shift, didn't it?) and begin by voiding every EO Obama put into place.

There is no need to impeach Obama. It will be more fun to turn him into a political piñata.

The Republicans will take an additional 3-4 seats. They won’t take the Senate. They could have, but as has been the case before, they dropped the chance. Again. The Republicans have lost almost every close election and run-off election in the past 20 years. Plus, Obama will now go full psycho and issue scores of executive orders with no rule of law behind them but the gutless Repubs will just wet their pants and wimper.

These are “realistic” cases. Under a worst case scenario, the Democrats win the House and the Senate, but that is unrealistic.

I see little difference between worst and likely case scenarios.

I tend to be a little more optomistic than either the likely or worst cases. I think one of the scandals is going to hit pay-dirt, and someone big is going to prison (Lerner, Holder, Jarrett)

I am uncertain it will make a difference.

The next two years are essentially spent managing the status quo.

The writer could have saved a lot of pixels by simply publishing this sentence.

I expected a full-fledged revolt when obembacare was passed. If that did not do it then nothing will matter and nothing will cause a revolt. The slide to the left will continue no matter who is elected.

End of story. End of the USA as it once was.

First order of business is having obama arrested and tried for treason.

Failing that impeachment.

the Supreme Court can declare an executive order to be unconstitutional.

The best thing a Republican-dominated Congress can do for the next two years is, besides reissuing the 300 bills that Harry Reid has in his trash can under his desk, is to cut the budgets of every government agency that is out of control, including the White House budget/contingency fund.

Obama can sign all the Executive Orders/Actions he wants, but if there is no money to fund them, then he is shit out of luck.

Money is the key to crippling this Marxist bastard.

As for impeachment, Obie would love it to happen. Then he could play the race card big time - see, the white GOP is picking on a poor black man, trying to keep him on the plantation while they have dinner with their 1 % friends (so much hypocrisy here that I could barf).

Old Chinese saying: “No money, no tickee”. “No ticket, no dance”.

I have no faith in this puff piece and the reality is that the Republican Party has been the Gang that can’t shoot straight for years now and you know the moderate/Karl Rove wing in the Senate will stab us in the back again!

In ANY scenario:

- Obamacare stays "the law of the land."

- Illegal alien amnesty is just a matter of time.

- More restrictions on every civil right, most especially the right to keep and bear arms, are a virtual certainty.

- Of course, the size and scope of government will grow grow grow. As always. Never gets rolled back. Never.

“New Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell brings to the floor all 300+ House bills that Harry Reid has been ignoring”

?

This senate victory, IF there is one, and that would be the case if there was a failure of voter fraud, is not hard won by the republicans.

What has any of them done? Cornyn? He came out TODAY with his liberal platform of dream act, Graham? so many competitors in the primary that they had to give it to him by a slim margin; McCain?

Any of them? Thad Cochran?

They don’t even want this. They want to continue working for the Chamber of Commerce in the minority party, pushing the liveral agenda, pretending theya can’t fix it because they are not in power , and they’ll put down republicans who take their job description at face value, see Ted (wackobird) Cruz, sept 2013.

It is the republicans who are Lucy and voters who are Charlie

This will essentially make President Obama a lame duck for the remainder of his time in office. So how does that play out...

I believe it’s called “Executive Orders”.
