If there's one comfort in all this it's that the Republicans are getting in a big win in a year when they can't win the presidency, and Obama can veto everything they pass. And maybe just maybe Americans will see all the regressive poo poo they try and push through and will dislike at least some of it.

Have you seen our media? They were acting like "both sides are to blame equally" over the shutdown and literally everything over the past few years.

The thing is that the Nebraska lawsuit has to worm its way through the courts, so Obama has an excuse to not do it.

So he's totally going to do what he really wants to do.

Nope, if the economy improves, they'll thank the republican congress. If it gets worse, they'll blame Obama

Uh even if the GOP declares war (which isn't a thing that happens any more) Obama still has to actually go along with it.

...which might actually be a valid concern.

Yeah, the guy who has been desperate to rise above partisanship his entire presidency is going to veto bills that would make him look bipartisan. You nailed it.

I don't think they will do it unless they get all 3 branches in 2016. There's no reason to do it now, even if they get 54/55 seats (which look likely).

Meanwhile, in Rhode Island, the horribly corrupt Democrat (it is Rhode Island, after all) won the Governor's race, thanks largely to a quixotic campaign by third party candidate Robert Healey whose manifesto was titled If I Were King of the Forest and who received 22% of the vote.
