All is not lost!

Mitch McConnell promised an end to gridlock if Republicans took the Senate. And you know a politician wouldn't fib! But under current Senate rules, Democrats have the same ability to block legislation that Republicans had when they were in the minority. So to get anything done, Republicans will have to reach out in a search for common ground, and to their credit, they are already doing so.
Senator McConnell is reportedly willing to soften the GOP's stance against abortion provided the procedure is performed with a handgun obtained without background checks, an initiative endorsed by the NRA. Democratic legislators are currently waiting to hear whatever President Barack Obama has to say in response so they can distance themselves from his position.
