the way our government works, if you don't have 60 votes in the senate your not going to get jack shit signed into law, meaning you need both parties more or less on board with your bills, absent some arcane senate rules for very specific budget neutral bills. However things relevant to the executive branch, judicial appointments and cabinet positions, only need 51 votes, so improving our siltation in the senate is a very big deal that some anons are underestimating out of anger of losing the house.

 

The democrats will certainly have a little more say in how things are run, but they already had that because of the senate needing 60 votes.

 

Incumbents generally have the advantage in elections, so many R's resigning definitely hurt. But corrupt and comprised R's are not worth keeping
