if they don’t change the rule back you are correct. But, if the itch mitch hands on to his job.. he’ll switch it back.

They know they are on the verge of losing it all.

They thought they had 20 years of unopposed rule.

They thought the Tea Party meant the end of the GOP.

They thought this nation rejected the Tea Party.

They thought liberalism and Obamacare would ensure their majority for decades.

Now, faced with their own failures, mismanagement and inept leadership, they are already framing their loss the same way they did in 1994 with a new version of “angry white men”.

Poor liberals.....I don’t feel anything for you.

but, if the assumption that the President is the President proves untrue, things might be a lot worse. With no veto the nightmare might be reality.

Trashed liberal dreams are the ultimate goal

They will repeatedly repeal the Affordable Care Act. They’ll strip the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of staff and powers. They’ll outlaw abortion, gut food stamps even further, block a path to citizenship for 12 million immigrants and cut taxes on the 1 percent.

That’s a good start but there’s so much more to eliminate.

"All that will matter is that the Senate Republican majority will be even more obstructionist than the Senate Republican minority, and they will have the House Republican majority as enablers. They will repeatedly repeal the Affordable Care Act. They’ll strip the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of staff and powers. They’ll outlaw abortion, gut food stamps even further, block a path to citizenship for 12 million immigrants and cut taxes on the 1 percent."

I hope that it happens but knowing the "Republicans" they'll feel sorry for the "Democrats" and decide to share power with them. The Republicans hope that this will stop the media from calling them "extremists."

A RINO Senate is more likely to make deals with the ‘Bastard’, more so than the current partisan Demon-rat Senate. It is all in how many RINO’s there are in the Senate when all is said and done.

“Democrat filibuster? Forget it. Harry Reid already used the “nuclear option.” The Republicans can block any Democrat filibuster with just 51 votes.”

Serious question...why can’t Harry just change it back during the last week they still have control. The Republicans would never have the guts to change it back to 51 if he did.

You won’t get liberty from Mitch McConnell.

The only ones who will benefit are the same ones benefiting now,

Non stop, mind numbing hateful hysteria. This man needs medication.....quickly. Drones. Spying. No tax on carbon pollution. No immigration reform. No gun control. No public option. No campaign finance reform. No bankers behind bars.

Complete socialist bunk, except for the drones and spying which apparently most of the pubbies love as much as the Rats.

The thing that is really frightening is that the GOPe and the RINOs think that demented persons like this can be reasoned with and compromises reached.

The only thing stopping them will be Democratic filibusters. But fear of losing the next election will be on many minority minds, so a united opposition is not a given, and Democratic caving, depicted as high-minded bipartisanship, will no doubt send some odious Acts to the Oval Office.

Sounds good to me but I won't hold my breath.

Liberty offends him.

Liberty offends most so-called “liberals” despite their self labeling – but then again, that is their first and foremost LIE.

This assumes that we don’t have a convenient “serious Crisis” that necessitates the delaying of the elections by executive order by Barrack Hussein.
