Most republicans in the House in around 65 years I read.
Well, it was pretty much guaranteed (IMO) that O would make another full bore push for gun control. Should be able to keep it shut down now.
They were already talking last night about O pushing the EOs, who knows how far he might try to take that abuse.
Otherwise I see a lot of head butting and blocking.
The dems are in a strange position now. Especially when it comes to 2016. None want to be connected with O so it will be interesting to see how far they are willing to go to the right in order to distance themselves. Especially the '16 hopefuls.

Amnesty. Gun control. Stacking courts. Thats what BHO is going to be about now. GOP senate needs to put it on him, not just try to stop him. Keep him on his heels.

Democrap. Repuglican. Neither party is worth a flying damn. That has been proven time and time again. Whenever either party is in the majority, they sit on their overpaid, bloated fat political asses and do nothing but blame the other party for everything going wrong. The Dems showed that in the first 2 years of the Liar-in-Chief's first term. They had the majority in the House and Senate and the only thing they did was shove the Affordable Care Act up our asses. Nothing else was done. Budgeting wasn't even dealt with on any kind of realistic basis.
Now that the Repuglicans have control, they had best hop on their horses and gallop into the fray and start DOING something. Pass some of the comprehensive immigration bills that the House passed but were blocked in the Senate by Reid. Put that bill on the Dick-in-Chief's desk and DARE the a-hole to sign it or veto it. Pass budget bills cutting government spending and put THOSE on Asswad-in-Chief's desk and dare him to veto it.
In other words, the Republicans have the upper hand so it's up to them to do something ..... something other than the nothing they've done while in the majority before!!!
They had better shine a spot light on all the dirty crooked illegal shit Obola has been knee deep in since 2008:
Start with Fast and Furious and the murder of Agent Brian Terry, firing Inspector General Walpin without advance notice to congress, trading gitmo terrorists without consent of congress, deploying US armed forces to Libya without consent of congress past 60 days, deprivation of civil rights by IRS and NSA, arming Syrian groups allied with ISIS.
Take this kenyan bastard down. Make history out of him. First president to be impeached, convicted, removed from office and sent to prison.

Glad as I am that most of the democrats got the boot, I'm not going to hold my breath on that.

It's a nice thought, but it won't happen. A simple majority of the house is required for impeachment, which is easily present, but conviction requires a supermajority of the senate, and the democrats have 45 seats which is well over the 34 required to block an impeachment. A few may turn on Obama, but nowhere near enough. It's possible we'd see an impeachment, but there's no chance we'll see a conviction.
Anything will help!
Lot of folks said that about what happened yesterday. But .......................... it did happen. Never say never!
Everything I saw leading up to the election said these results were expected. Almost all conceded that the dems would lose at least a few seats.
Sure, some dems were claiming it wouldn't, but for the most part they were admitting trouble and preparing for defeat.

How many senate seats did republicans pick up?
Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it also depends on "who and what" someone saw leading up to the election. If someone watched CNN, Dems were gonna' win, if someone watched FOX, Republicans were gonna' win. I have a hard time believing the accuracy of anything I see or hear on any news channel these days!
