Exactly - the GOPs strategy should be to block most, but let through a few key measures that permits them to show 'reasonableness' and not taint the GOP nominee with obstructionism and obsession with issues that no one outside of the GOP base cares about... NO IDEOLOGICAL WILD-GOOSE CHASES. However, this would also enable them to suggest Obama's weakness and inherent lame-duckness and then trying to tie it to Hillary "do we want another four years of this".
Also noting that generally Congresses failures tend to reflect badly on the President...
However, as mentioned, the GOP, especially the nut-case wing, will be so giddy that I doubt they have the self-discipline to let certain things go. So basically I see a lot of obstructionism without the strategy.
