re: #106 Charles

He said the GOP would “serve as a check” on the Obama administration. In other words, oppose the administration’s policies. I don’t see any other way to interpret that without tying yourself into a pretzel.

Serving as a check is a far cry from siding with a foreign power in my mind. In the context of the US government, minority parties serve as a check against the president or leadership of either house. That doesn’t mean they are siding against the interests of the American people.
