How much difference will it make if Republicans win the Senate majority on Nov. 4, joining the GOP-run House against a Democratic White House?
Congress’ persistent gridlock is due largely, but not entirely, to the current power split in the two chambers. But even if Republicans add Senate control to their safe House majority, big legislative roadblocks will remain.
President Barack Obama still can veto legislation.
Should Democrats lose six or more Senate seats, ceding the majority, they can use the power of the filibuster to thwart dozens of GOP initiatives. Republicans have employed this tactic from the minority side. …

See my tag line why.
Look dude, read in context. People are reacting to this article with a misleading headline. It is an infantile psych operation to depress the vote by the AP. That’ all I was saying. It sucked you on on the article.
Maybe you think it’s original and brilliant to point out McConnell is bad news. Duh.
What does walking anywhere have to do with picking someone to vote for?
I am done voting against someone.
As to your analogy... you want me to walk from Denver or LA to DC?
No.
you counting Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert and Sarah Palin and Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh in that equation? They are ALL Republicans,
GOP to the base: “we’re going to fold like lawn chairs”
what makes you think that???
because republicans will have 50+1??
that won’t stop the judge appointments.
Where did they say that IN THE ARTICLE???
Oh, it may happen, that’s another topic. But where did they say that IN THE ARTICLE. (hint, the headline is misleading)
Good grief, it's called an analogy.
You're just PO'ed, and I get it. But don't damage the country because you're miffed at the GOPe.
Not a dime’s worth of difference.
Why of course their will be “limitations” of a Senate filled with gutless RINOS interested only in being re-elected to their elitist positions with all the cool free stuff like box tickets to the Washington Foreskins, free meals, free international travel, and the adulation of the ignorant peasantry.
My point is.. a Senate led by the GOPe is not going to be much different than the current make up..
It really is that simple.
RINOs. What are they good for? Absolutely NOTHIN!
It was the last time they had control of both Houses of Congress with a Dem President - thus - it is the only valid comparison.
Just use the Nuclear Option which can be renamed the “Reid Rule.”
My point is, removing Harry Reid will make a bigger difference than you are willing to admit given the ground you have staked out in this thread. MY BIGGER POINT is that all these Freepers are falling for this bullshit headline and not reading the article.
Drive by commenting can embarrass.
I’m not miffed at the GOPe..
They are doing EXACTLY what I expected.
I am done allowing them to take my vote for granted. That is all.
Earn it or loose it. Thus far, they are loosing it.
Well GOP, don’t be surprised when you don’t get it.
Useless bums.
Yes. The writer discussed tactics which the Republicans might make use of with a majority, and implied that it would be sleazy, or unpopular with the country to do so, while ignoring that the ‘rats have used those same tactics repeatedly.
See CommieCare.
“So if they win it they plan to POWER SHARE AGAIN”
************************************************************************************
There is absolutely no limit to the STUPIDITY OF THE GOPe. They feel COMPELLED to be nice to their DemocRAT compatriots in the Senate when Republicans have the majority; the same DemocRATS who have been screwing them over for years whenever the ‘RATS have the majority.
