Republican House minority still can lead

Republicans should not let their minority status in the U.S. House of Representatives keep them from passing good legislation.

Republicans can use a combination of creative policy ideas and effective communication to pressure Democrats to “play ball” on particular issues. With Republicans in control of the presidency and Senate, and thus able (if politically savvy enough) to set the agenda and even to pass bills for the House to consider, there is no reason House Republicans should be anything but energetic in trying to govern.
