Let is say that they do not "retake" either chamber of Congress but that their numbers increase in both - improbably I know, but let's just say so for the sake of argument.

Would the Party of No become complete and block everything?

God forbid that includes signing GOP legislation in order to "get along" 'til the next election...

4. Then we'd only have one hope.

The rules would need to be changed at the beginning of the Senate session. I don't know if that would even pass.
