The old saying, "Be careful what you wish for because you may get it" applies in this situation. The Republican Party got exactly what it's been wishing for. Now what the fuck are they gonna do with it?
The 2016 presidential election campaign started this morning, and all the Republicans who are running for the White House will be pushing all the ones who aren't into places where they don't want to be. There's no reason to expect a party which hates government to succeed at governing.
So Republicans need to enjoy their victory lap and gloat while they still can. They haven't had a fresh idea in thirty years, and the angry white people over age 50 who restored the GOP Senate majority yesterday will soon be demanding an agenda that alienates the large majority of people who aren't Tea Party crazies or evangelunatics. By November 2016, most voters will have been reminded of all the things they don't like about American life when the GOP is running Congress.
