What Would The GOP Do With A House-Senate Majority In 2015?
Townhall ^

Everything begins with leadership. That's why Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam took out the ax yesterday. He wants to win. He wasn't winning. He wasn't going to win. So he changed up the leadership.

They could give Obama and the RATS what they want even faster!

I wonder why Hewitt is so high on the Senate leadership? They are just as feckless as the House leadership, but Hewitt has nothing but glowing praise for McConnell.

Hewitt is incredibly off, reading between the lines this is a swipe at conservatives.
A shutdown cannot be ruled out. Without it there is no chance of reform.
With a slim majority the likes of Collins and Murkowski will continue to allow Obama to appoint left-wing freaks to positions.

The Leadership needs to plan alright. It needs to plan to apply conservative solutions so it can show success.

Might as well ask what would the GOP do with a pink unicorn. Getting one of these is about as likely as controlling the Senate next year.

95 percent of elected Republicans either fake conservatism or repudiate it.

12 House Republicans did not support Boehner’s leadership at the beginning of this session after he pushed through an “imperfect deal” with Obama.

That tells me the other 215 or so need to go and we are about 210 votes short of a conservative majority in the House.

Punt. Either that or provide "one whale of a fight" after 2016.

Unless we change the leadership the answer is NOTHING! Nothing, that is, except whine because since they don’t have the WH too their hands are tied.

Hopefully they will grow a pair and start impeaching the people around Obama.

It’s the Teasers that really tick me off. The article gets snipped right before some important detail, when there’s no legal reason to cut it at that point. It’s obviously a bid to drive traffic to the other site up.

The House folded rather than fight the debt limit battle. They claim there is nothing they can do, because the president won’t budge. It would only lead to another government shutdown. Then it dawned on me. What difference would it make if Republicans also controlled the Senate? If we can’t do anything now because the president refuses to compromise, what good will having the Senate do us? Are we going to continue to hear excuses about how we only control 1/3 (up from 1/2 of 1/3) of the government?

I’m all for taking control of the Senate of course, but I think we should prepare ourselves for what comes next...more disappointment.

More than likely, they would capitulate to the democrat demand that they “reach out” to the minority, meaning bend over yet again.

I disagree. I think the Republicans have a much better than 50/50 chance of retaking the Senate in November. This is shaping up to be a Republican sweep year like 1994 and 2010,

Of course, if the Republicans do gain control of the Senate and keep control of the House, they will be blamed by the lamestream media for everything bad that happens anywhere in the world for the next two years so that Hillary can get elected with Democrat control of Congress in 2016.

A Republican controlled Congress can pass bills every day for Obama to veto and will still be labelled by the lamestream media as a do nothing Congress.

That ignores the fact that the Democrats would filibuster them all.
