We shall see how powerless Schaltz and the democrats are.  Frankly they just need to sit back and watch the republicans destroy themselves.   All this might just change next year.  Republicans have a tendency to really blow it because they only care about the rich and no one else.  Why anyone would vote for such a bankrupt party is beyond me.  

Just remember it has been over 50 years since a republican president submitted a balanced budget to congress.  The real pathetic thing is that today's repblicans would never chose this president today.  How sad.
