They've got near-historical majorities in the house and senate, as well as a slew of governorships. On the other hand, anytime a president is elected and has what seems to be a very favorable congress, they don't seem to get much done. But the GOP nominee could enter 2017 (ETA: assuming he won) with a pretty sizable "mandate."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
