The Republicans in congress aren't doing anything with that control though. For example they backpedaled on their Obamacare repeal promises when they had a chance to actually do it. They are more and more looked upon as part of "the swamp" or "establishment" and not really seen as conservatives, with a few exceptions.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoI agree with you that they're wasting the power that they have, but they do indeed have the power at the moment. The problem with attempting to repeal the ACA is that it leaves enough Republicans vulnerable in midterms that they don't dare repeal it, hence the inability to get the votes necessary. Don't confuse ideology with self-preservation.
