With a little over 4 weeks left in the year Republicans have a lot on there plate. Issues like the spending bill are of huge importance as it seems likely the government could shut down. Other issues of importance like sexual harassment in congress, tax reform, immigration, Obama care and the children's health insurance program have yet to be resolved.
The events in the next month will test the party's leadership and also force them to make decisions on these issues.
Discussion: If the GOP is unable to find solutions to these issues how will it effect there image?

It seems as though tax reform is coming close to being completed, so it is possible that Congress will score some points on that. On other issues, however, they have been ineffectual in other categories, however this is much of the same. I don't think it is very likely that this will hurt their image, because they can just use the Democrats or other issues as a scapegoat, as they usually do. Moreover, the Republican base is becoming more polarized and so less likely to care if a Republican controlled government is inefficient. Despite this, there may be some moderates lost from the Republican party that switch over to the Democrats, which is what will hurt the party in the long run.
