So the GOP has the house and senate. Now what?

[KingNothing]

It is an opportunity for the Tea Party and Libertarian Republicans to sat to the GOP establishment - "OK, we voted straight GOP, and now you owe us. You have to throw us a bone. The price is eliminating the Department of Education in order to keep our support. If you fail to do this, we will primary you."

There is a zero percent chance of that happening.
What may happen is a softening of taxes, regulations, spending, and abuses of privacy as Rand and Mitch push smaller, nuanced, legislation that is virtually impossible to oppose. I have a feeling that we're going to see incremental improvements. Rand and the GOP want, I think, to be seen as doing more than just shouting "NO!" at Obama. If they can position themselves to offer reasonable alternatives, approve them, and force Obama into looking like an ass by either vetoing them or approving them, they may be carry this momentum onward to 2016.

Then what? Have an Republican whose can be a lot worse as Obama?

Well if the ball EVER got rolling--or heads figuratively, I think more of these Representatives would toe-the-line knowing that the people mean business.

Warning shot to get serious and primary these losers.

Are we talking about voting harder again?

No, voting more often... (preferably 100's of times if you can...)

RINOs have to be put to the test early. It will tale time to ID good candidates and do the ground game to primary when that becomes required.



(Hint: Republicans have always sucked like the intake of a massive jet engine! So to be called a 'Republican in Name Only' could be a good thing!)
