We always talk about the negatives of the Republicans, but let's take a look at the positive that MAY come out of this if they get reelected.
1) McCain and Rubio were apart of the Gang of 8. They may be key in getting immigration reform passed. Hillary has a good relationship with McCain, and Arizona has paid once for anti-immigration legislation.
2) Rob Portman (Ohio) is one of the most pro-gay Republicans in the Senate because his son is gay. He will help get the Equality Act passed.
3) Hillary and Paul Ryan both support Jim Clyburn's 10/20/30 anti-poverty plan which will put at least 10% of all federal funding in counties where 20% of the population has lived over the poverty line for 30 years. (This will actually help 311 Republican counties, and only 149 Democratic counties)
I am very optimistic about the legislative and executive branch. Hillary is great combining the two. Won't hurt to have the Judicial branch behind her as well.

From what I've heard, Ohio Republicans in general are pretty good, for Republican standards. I've heard good things about Kasich, Portman, Borges...
If the Republicans want to reboot after this election I would look at what's made Ohio Republicans so successful.
