[QUOTE="hedrick, post: 75638502, member: 239032"] I hope they don’t. We have to get rid of McConnell, and that’s the only way. I wouldn't normally mind a majority of the Senate being Republican. If the Democrats want to do something decent, some Republicans should go along. The problem however is that if they are in the majority, they'll elect McConnell as speaker. He won't allow a bill to be considered unless he approves of it. That's just protection against Democratic overreach. It's one person with more power than even the president with a veto. The senate needs to change its rules so the parties aren't so important. A one-person change in party balance shouldn't cause a reversal in policies. An obvious change would be to allow the minority leader some ability to schedule bills. [/QUOTE]
