Unfortunately all the Republican wave coming this November can do is slow down the bleeding. Even with a best-case wave they will not have the votes to override Presidential vetoes or convict impeached federal officials. Nor can they do much about executive orders.

If the Republicans are smart they will pass the parts of the budget Democrat Presidents use to bludgeon the Republicans into spending submission early and separately. Break the budget bill into separate parts. Fund Medicare and Social Security in a separate bill right out the gate. Then hold the parts of the Federal government most annoying to law-abiding citizens to account. Justice Department funding? Individual bill. Eliminate spending on the corrupt parts. If the President vetoes the bill, let the Justice Department shut down. Ditto for the IRS, the Department of Education and etc. As long as Social Security checks and Medicare payments keep flowing, the general public won't care.

This guy almost makes one miss Obama. However it is possible this is really Obama wrecking the nation. He and his wife hate America.
