But Hillary will save us.
You think they people hated Obama, wait till they get to come out of the woodwork to hate Hillary.

...the ineffectual Harry Reid will allow Republicans to pass bills with a bare majority and the always-willing-to-compromise Obama will bend over backwards to sign them into law.
I'd happily take gridlock by Democrats gumming up the system the way the Republicans have been, but they won't; expect many Republican-leaning bills to get passed and signed into law. I doubt the Democrats will allow them to pass anything too extreme, but we'll see more Republican bills signed into law over the next couple of years than we saw Democratic bills passed into law over the previous few years.
