"how many Senate seats has the GOP had to advance their agenda so strongly? 51!! "
That's cuz it only takes 50 + 1 to confirm judges and cabinet members, and to pass budgets/tax cuts, which I believe have to start in the House. They play the game better than the Dems do.

The Republican tax reform bill will live and die by this obscure Senate rule...
Remember the Byrd Rule?
