There is no possible chance that the GOP can gain a cloture-proof majority in the Senate. Current polls and projections have them gaining the majority, with 51 seats. That will give them the right to set the legislative agenda, get the committee chairs, and have their leader get most of the soundbites--Lordy, I hope it's someone other than Mitch McConnell. But like the Republicans do now to the Democratic majority, the Democrats can pretty much block any vote the GOP majority would like to put up for a full vote.
I'm afraid we might be looking at another four years of legislative gridlock. Except when it comes to more spending bills!
