At least we know this time we'll get "something", instead of a scuffle, a cloud of dust, and alot of finger pointing....which is what we usually get.

If they get the 60 seats to be filibuster proof they can do anything they want. Its something they didn't have in 93. They had the majority but not enough to avoid getting filibustered.
If the senate gets to 60 seats it will be the first time its happen with a filibuster proof house and senate as well as the same party in the oval office since 1930. The party can do absolutely anything they want if that happens.
