Wil McCarthy assume the role of a Paul Ryan ?, if that's the case then it's business as usual . Pathetic, we place our future in the hands of do nothing traitors .

I expect gridlock and a few pieces of democrat legislation passed.

I want revenge.

What I expect of them, and what I expect them to actually do are inversely proportional.

This mostly. Ted Cruz will suddenly be a lot less "in your face" so people won't expect results.

I don't expect a fucking thing. The swamp is the swamp and they're all swimming in it.

To cut sweetheart deals for their donors, drive up the national deficit, and pass gun control.

You know, what they normally do

Nothing.

I expect a lot....not a fortune teller, but we will get very little.

I expect the corrupt bastards from both sides of the aisle to flap their gums and collect paychecks, health, dental, and pension benefits without doing a damn thing to earn it.

They will do like most in the government. Talk a lot and do very little. I expect we will hear the same as we did during the last two years of Obama. All they said was if we had the White House we could get something done. Trump came in and they fought the Republican president they claimed they needed every step of the way. David

More of the same exact crap.

They will vote to give themselves a raise. Then pass a few inconsequential bills with pills that porkbelly companies they have stocks in. Then complain that their majority is too small to get anything they promised done. Then dial back all the stances the railed about before the election. Then figure a way to become the minority collecting a paycheck again as soon as is possible.

The usual. Nothing.

A slightly less vigorous fucking than we are getting from the dims. They won’t do anything good, that’s for damn sure.

I expect them to "cross the aisle in the spirit of compromise."

I expect to be betrayed in every way possible.

Nothing. Same as usual.

I expect them to impeach multiple members of the Biden administration, Merrick Garland, Mayorkas, etc, and to launch investigative committees into the communist subversives actions in Jan, 6, Chinese and Russian influence and bribery schemes in government officials and beyond.

I EXPECT them to block all leftist legislation. I expect them to keep any perspective judges that are anything remotely resembling a left Winger, off the bench.

As long as everyone accepts it, that's all that matters

This and about 1/2 of the democrats wish list.

Basically, standard operating procedure for the GOP.

First six replies nailed it.

But hopefully not. There should be a lot of new blood this time, a lot of the "maga" republicans who are more old school than the crop of RINOs running the R side of things now. So maybe we will see some actual change for once, and accountability. But the bar is pretty low.

I would expect a lot.

I'm sure it will be business as usual with nothing meaningful getting done.

That's funny you think anything will happen.

News flash - nothing will happen.

They will arrest all the swamp creatures and put trump back in office.

Or, nothing as usual.

First post and this one nail it.

IF the Republicans win, and that’s a big IF, I expect to be disappointed.

Other than Supreme Court appointments the Republicans did jack shit for four years under Trump. I’m expecting a LOT of talk and zero action.

They will talk a big talk but behind closed doors they will work with the Dems to protect their club they are all in and ensure they continue to all get wealthy.

My expectations are rather low, all I expect is gridlock for two more years and I’m ok with it.

Posted: 10/24/2022 9:19:46 PM EDT

[#34]

Gridlock, please.

Posted: 10/24/2022 9:20:24 PM EDT

I expect they will take the blame for the economy

Posted: 10/24/2022 9:20:53 PM EDT

Not very much, really.

Hopefully just not the run away fucking train to totalitarianism we've been on here of late.

No wonder you're attacking Trump constantly. It makes sense.

You want things to stay as they are. Perfect.

I expect them to cave in and actually pass more of biden's bullshit like they always do when in power

or are you asking what I WANT them to do ?

A Californian (McCarthy) will probably be the majority leader. I don't expect much. However, Gaetz, Jordan, Stefanik, ...will give them a run for their money. We have a few young good ones.

Nothing , because they won't have the Senate.

Also, Republicans are spineless foils, like the Washington Generals

This guy gets it. With Biden in the Whitehouse you realize that no positive legislation can can possibly go into law?
