#2 The real action has been the slow moving primary purge among Republicans. More than a just a Republican sweep, it is going to be a huge "freshman" sweep, displacing a LOT of "moderates" and RINOs.

This is important in several ways. In the "second quarter" of the Clinton terms, the Contract With America sweep revitalized Washington, by sending in fresh and enthusiastic Republicans, who did much to turn the country around, despite opposition by Clinton.

But this could take this even further, because they would be both enthusiastic *and* conservative.

This is the best possible way to handle a crisis, because they will want to tackle it head on, not try to bluff their way through it. And that almost assures a better outcome.
