60

Republicans picked up 60 seats in yesterday's election, but now have to turn to governing the House, and here things might get tricky. For the past two years they have enjoyed a lean and cohesive coalition, while the Democrats have had people in their caucus representing districts that lean Republican. This created internal divisions. Those are the people that were defeated in yesterday's election meaning that the Democrats have the more cohesive caucus and Republicans have to deal with what this author calls Republicrats.
