At that point, Eric Holder/Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi will be muzzled and Democrats will be forced to run all talking points through the White House before appearing on the Sunday news shows.

This, of course, is just a thumbnail of the drastic change in practices that will take place when this President is faced with the threat of House impeachment. Afterall, a win for the GOP in the Senate means that America is sick and tired of the Democratic Agenda.

To stay the course would be to encourage (even dare) the House to impeach him. For a man so ensconced in his legacy, there's no way under the sun that the President of 2015/2016 will resemble anything like the law-defying President of today.
Nonsense. The Republicans aren't going to impeach or even TRY to impeach anyone. Gimme a break.

Do you realize how hard impeachment is to carry out? Even if Republicans had every seat in congress, they still ain't gonna try it.

Stop dreaming. You guys toss that impeachment word around so much that you've lost sight of how rare it is in American politics.

They do so because given the EC it is as close to the oval office as the GOP will get..long-term.

I don't. We need mainstream Republicans to take control back of their party, as in a 2 party system, one impotent one for the WH makes the other one able to go as far to the other extreme as they wish.

Right now we have a 1 party system for POTUS.

67 votes from 100 means it doesn't matter what ones ratings are.

Obama's approval rating is not that low.
The fact is, Obama's lowest approval rating is higher than Clinton's lowest approval rating.
And in fact Obama's lowest approval rating is higher than the lowest approval rating of any President since Kennedy. Every president since Kennedy has (at some point in their Presidency) had a lower approval rating than Obama has EVER had.
Obama's lowest approval rating was 39%.
Compare that to GW Bush's 19%
Or to Clintons' 36%
Or to GHW Bush's 29%
Or to Reagan's 35%
Or to Carter's 28%
Or to Ford's 37%
Or to Nixon's 23%
Or to Johnson's 35%

You have to go back over 50 years to Kennedy's low point of 56% to find a President who didn't at some point get a lower approval rating than Obama's had.
Reagan spent essentially 2 full years (from Nov 81' to Nov 83') without gettting a single approval rating over 50%. Obama has never done that.
