I think this might be pretty accurate. I can't, for the life of me, see how gaining both Houses of Congress, with the agenda THEY have, will yield anything that's in any way positive. It'll be - "be careful what you wish for, mitch." When could they be counted on to do anything that makes sense, or helps the country at large, or saves us any money?

It'll also very nearly guarantee the White House stays true blue, and we may get majorities back in at least one House if not BOTH. There WILL be a backlash. Because the idiots who swallow this LOVELY CONservative shit that the GOP is promising will happen that makes the President somehow go away and everything he did somehow go away and everything gets back to the 1950s like they want - WILL NOT HAPPEN. So if we're disappointed by the election results after the election, THEY will be disappointed nonstop for the next two-year term.
