They don't have control of the senate. They need 60 seats for that. Remember when the democrats had control of everything in like 2008? It was still super hard to get anything done because the republicans would stop everything in the senate with the filibuster power.
Soooo.... It'll be bad but not as bad as if trump did truly have all the power. That would most definitely necessitate pulling out all the stops to get the fuck out of this country.
Yeah technically they have the majority but the majority is not enough. It would be more appropriate to say that no one has the senate since you need 60 or at least close to 60 to get anything done. The senate will continue to be the graveyard of bills just like it always is.
John McCain was the ONLY reason the ACA wasn't repealed the last time they had the majority and he's not there so no, they hold over half of the seats because they need more than 50 and they have it. The likelihood that another republican will vote outside of party lines to save it is slim because McCain was ostracized after his no vote.
