In his more sober moments, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), about to achieve his lifelong ambition of becoming Senate majority leader, may wonder whether he, too, has achieved a pyrrhic victory.
Republicans are still crowing about the sweeping victories in 2014 that give them control of both houses of Congress. They will set the agenda, deciding what gets considered, investigated and voted on. Their ideas will drive the debate.

Even I have standards.
She's probably got 20-grit down there just to spite all men.
She was the one, a year or so back, was backing Bevins like crazy under the notion that if he’d defeat McConnell the Dem (Grimes) would be a sure thing in KY. She published multiple articles on it.
Not playing guilt by association with that, but rather showing that she’s got some weird obsession with McConnell.
Republicans will now taste...
Guilty.
It’s you Katrina who is tasting the bitter harvest. Leftists always project on to their enemies their own motives and even what’s they expect to happen to them. They are pure evil and merely tryiing to spread disinformation and lies to fool more people and comfort their crushed sense of self-importance.
Democrats tried to get butthurt covered by Obamacare.
The insurance companies told them it would sink every insurance company in the nation.
The Republicans were *already* pinned with the blame for things not getting done in Congress. The election results were the result of the voters deciding that stopping what Obama and his were trying to do was what they wanted.
