It’s definitely in need of a massive overhaul. It was tried during 2009-2012 with the ‘Tea Party’, but the GOPe co-opted, watered down the movement, and effectively killed the holdouts that refused to be co-opted.

Even if the Republicans win in a sweep, nothing really changes. Sure they’ll get their precious committee chairmanships in the Senate, but nothing good will happen. The only difference will be is legislation will die by 0bama’s pen, rather than sitting on Harry Reid’s desk.

Nothing short of a majority capable of overriding a Veto materially changes anything. That said, I’d rather have a republican Senate than a Democrat Senate, and that’s just enough for me to go vote, I guess. (I’ve never been less enthused about voting)

Lots of us warned the TEA groups not to let them in. They did. this is the result. The next uprising should listen.

Re-read that bit of truth and let it sink in. For that is the plain truth and stark reality we now exist in.

In fact, not only has the GOP Ruling Class told us that Obama's agenda is 'here to stay', they have told us that investigating all the criminality and injustice in Obama's regime is no longer going to be a 'priority'.

Not a damn thing is going to change with the Ruling Class Oligarchy in power. Makes no difference which party is in charge.
