It would certainly shock the country

"I believe if we had a Republican House, Republican Senate and a Gingrich presidency, we'd get amazing things done...We can create a majority that will shock the country."
— Newt Gingrich

Probably right in to a true depression. It would also shock the world, probably in similar fashion. I seem to recall a previous Republican President/House/Senate that exploited some laws that were taken off the books during a Democratic President with a Republican House and Senate that enjoyed a margin that could override a Presidential veto. That worked really well.

Maybe I should start taking French, is Canada hiring?

Shock, yes. Amaze, yes. But missing there is an important question - will they be able to actually govern in some way that isn't "Here, corporations, have the keys. We're vacationing in somewhere without an extradition treaty."
