left in power. They only have a few days of business scheduled before the December recess.

In January, of course, the Democrats take over the house. Now, Republicans could be working on

priorities. Politico says, like funding the border wall that Trump has been after for two years,

they could be overhauling Obamacare, which they've promised to repeal for years.

Senator Ted Cruz is criticizing the apparent lack of effort with only five weeks of Republican

control of Congress and the White House. Cruz says they should be working around the clock.

Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy says the problem is everybody wants to quit at four

o'clock so they can go home to watch wheel of fortune. And nobody wants to work weekends. I believe

both of those are true. So the bottom line is sadly some Republicans don't want results. They

don't want to get it done, especially when it comes to the border wall. This attitude, more than

anything else, is why voters sent 40 Republicans packing in the midterms. And if it doesn't change,

then a lot of things aren't going to get better.
