 GOP plots early wake-up call for Clinton

Looking past Election Day, Republicans sketch plan to stymie a President Hillary Clinton agenda.

Hillary Clinton has managed to win support from Republicans without conceding any part of the progressive economic agenda she outlined during the Democratic primary.

But with fall approaching and momentum on Clinton’s side, Democrats and Republicans alike are looking over the horizon to a thornier reality: if elected, Clinton would likely become the first Democrat since Grover Cleveland to enter office without control of both houses of Congress.

That means the bipartisan show of support she has now -- thanks to Donald Trump and the “alt-right,” conspiracy-driven campaign Clinton attacked Thursday in Reno -- is likely to evaporate as soon as the race is called. If she wins the presidency, Clinton would likely enjoy the shortest honeymoon period of any incoming commander-in-chief in recent history, according to Washington strategists, confronting major roadblocks to enacting her ambitious agenda, as well as Republican attacks that have been muted courtesy of the GOP nominee.

So this article basically boils down to...

...Republican Congresscritters will oppose Hillary from the get-go.

Which puts paid the notion that Congress will oppose Trump more than Hillary.  You can't beat "from the start".

The GOP is hopeful??  We have a 60% chance of losing the Senate so she would have the Supreme Court leaning left in no time -- not much the House can do on Constitutional issues; like the 2nd amendment (they could block a vote to repeal) but, ultimately it will be up to SCOTUS to rule on any laws applicable to the 2nd amendment or any other rights under the Constitution.
