The senate would be tied, with the democrat VP having the casting vote. That means as a party you require every senator to vote along party lines. Thats unlikely to happen a lot of the time, Senators are only interested in getting their senate seat back in 5 years time, and the easiest way to do that is to get some huge publicity about some perceived issue being voted on that affects your state.
Like the UK you need a large clear majority of seats, unlike the UK you need it in both houses.
As Trump found out, the US constitution is set up essentially to make the president powerless.
