I Really Hope the GOP Follows Cruz's Playbook.

Ted Cruz has said a GOP Senate should be like the GOP House. Hearings on the Obama Administration non-stop. Possibly impeachment.

I hope they do this because I think it will sour the general electorate, the independents in particular, in time for the 2016 elections.

The economy and jobs are all on you now GOP. No Democratic Senate to blame.

It is going to be a long two years until 2016.

and put it on Pres. Obama's desk. If he vetoes it because of all the crap they put on there, they'll say it's the Dems fault. If he doesn't veto it, they'll run roughshod over him and the American people for the next 2 years and campaign that Dems are weak.

I can see that as their ongoing strategy for the next two years. Attach all sorts of horrible to budget bills and other must-pass bills. Then blame Obama if he vetoes them.
