As long as we are not as widely split as the GOP is (where they have to blame Democrats for their failure, even while they have the majority), we can get a lot done when/if there is a blue sweep.

Maybe it won't be the best health care plan, for example, but we will at least get people covered, and hope for gradual expansions of medicaid and medicare. Maybe there won't be free college for all but we can fix the student loan scams and beef up support for low income students.
