We already saw that with Bush and GOP House & Senate. Disaster. Its never good when one party controls everything.
What a disaster Obama, Dem House & Senate. Created the largest tax increase for the middle class in 2 decades just to help redistribute income to the poor and the rich.
Income inequalities jump the fastest and highest under Obama. He increased payroll taxes, increased cost of healthcare, while poor people enjoyed free healthcare and don't have to join the workforce.
I was paying $350/month before Obama, now I have to pay over $1200/month. This is the single largest middle class tax hike in the 20+ yrs I've been apart of the workforce.

Feel free to say whatever you want about Obama. I stand by what I said in my post.
Wait a minute, looks like Ronald Reagan was the tax-hiker in Chief since the 1960s.

Donald Trump is a strange standard-bearer for Republicans. He espouses few of the party’s traditional positions and disavows most of its icons. Almost every important conservative publication — National Review, the Weekly Standard, Commentary — opposes him, as do most leading conservative pundits, from George Will to David Brooks to Bret Stephens. Of the five previous Republican nominees for president, three will not publicly affirm that they would vote for Trump and I would bet that a fourth (John McCain) will not in the privacy of the voting booth. And yet, amazingly, in polls, Trump has received around the same level of support from Republicans as previous GOP nominees — so far. The election might well hinge on one simple issue — whether Republicans prove to be rational or tribal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/̷...92c2-14…

Again this thread is about how chances of a GOP controlled Senate are fading in light of a very bad week for Trump.
Many polls are beginning to show Trump peaked just before the debate.
I hear the argument that a single party controlling both Congress and Executive Branch is bad. However, we all witnessed what a mess it is when Congress will not pass anything suggested by the President.
The American people know that the US needs to invest billions in infra structure projects. How can it do that if a GOP controlled Congress won't authorize new airports, roads, bridges, and other big projects?
