Republicans won this election on a promise and they’re now on probation. They must deliver something better than the last two years, or go down in flames 24 months from now. It’s a tall order and there had better be some sober reflection before January. We’ll see.

I disagree with this part. (Though I think you’re right about impeachment.)

These elections are made on visceral grounds, not careful evaluations of 24 months of performance.

If American voters really cared about a legislator’s performance we’d seen a whole lot more of them not re-elected.

The GOP this year won on one agenda: BE AFRAID.

Ebola.
ISIS.
Muslims.
Illegals.
Gun snatching.

Bibles and guns - these are what Americans care about.
