That is harsh. He is horrid.
Plenty of blame to go around

Ahhh okay, so essentially the Senate have the opportunity to veto motions passed by the house?
Am I right in assuming that the Senate have more influence than the House of Lords too?

Here in the US we don't vote for President and Senate together, they each receive their own separate vote. Also, we don't select all 100 senators for election at once either, it is a staggered election. For example, United States Senators have a six-year term, but they are not all elected at the same time. Rather, elections are held every two years for one-third of Senate seats.

How unifying of him. This is what the next two years are going to be for our country, no representation in the House for our values.
I despise this kind of person, I really do
Not all senate seats are up for re-election, and in those states where there is a senate election usually (but not always) the candidate that wins the state is more than likely to also gain a senate seat. But people in each state, could, in principle, vote for a Democrat president and a Republican senator (or vice versa). You don't have to block vote. Traditionally, in the senate, some states have these old "stalwart" senators who have been in office for 4+ terms (1 term = 6 years). These stalwarts (Biden was one of them in Delaware; that ass McConnell in Kentucky is another; Paul Simon--retired--was another from Illinois) can in fact, get voters to switch allegiance. So it is entirely possible that someone could vote for their incumbent stalwart, just on the basis of "they like him and he does a good job and has been around for along time" while voting for a different party's presidential candidate in the same election cycle. But the most important factor is that not all senators are up for reelection en masse.
(If the above makes any sense, I'll be impressed, because I'm totally piss drunk).

Along with the type of person who could actually vote for them.
I should add that I'm pretty good at being piss drunk, so it would take a lot to have me type nonsense.
