We shouldn’t have to tell George Will that in the US the president controls the political agenda. It’s his football.

The Republicans tried under Speaker Gingrich to seize the agenda from Bill Clinton. It worked for a few months, but with the Media on his side Clinton was able to slowly regain the initiative. I don’t see John Boehner doing any better should the Republicans gain majorities in both Houses.

Then there’s the problem of moderate Republicans. They hold the center of gravity, politically-speaking. They have shown a willingness to bolt the party on critical issues and support a Democrat president. So holding a majority together in the Senate has always been problematic.

Right on, FRiend. There is no chance of a conservative majority in the Senate in the next Congress. None. Zero. But the RINOs would love to have the majorities and keep the base line budgeting spending fiasco going. Then they will just blame the inevitable tax increases on the kenyan.

The huge red flag for me is none of the top tier new faces ran for President this time. No Ryan. No Christie. No Rubio. The beltway GOP just don’t have the fight in them to take on Hussein and the rabid dims. It’s just not there.
