Trump rallies are the greatest & pay off producing a very important cushion of 53 senators.

Why 53 is a good number ?
It takes Collins and Murkowski out of position when they appose Trump's agenda. It also takes out Romney as the spoiler. A position John McCain played and Romney, IMO, was looking forward to playing. All three could be a no vote and the V.P would break the tie in critical votes to make 51 needed for judge and cabinet appointments assuming democrats continue to block vote against the Trump agenda.

I’m actually ok with that since dems have taken the House. Republicans have looked the other way for 2 years and let him do whatever he wanted. Not anymore. He will finally be held accountable

Held accountable for what? And don't give me some cop-out answer like "we'll just have to wait and see".

Why are you crying, I’m not 😄. So let’s just see what happens when Democrats take control of the house. Why do you automatically assume it’s about crimes. They can stop any legislation he wants, like the stupid wall. And btw, Democrats won the house midterms by the largest margin since Watergate. And it’s historic because of the number of women and minorities that were elected. Republicans need to get with the times because our country is constantly changing.

Plus I would rather have senate...we can continue fixing the judiciary with judges who respect the constitution.
That may be easier said than done now that the GOP themselves passed a bill last year to strengthen congressional subpoena reinforcement LOL

Lawmakers gave voice-vote approval to the measure authored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), a former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Under the bill, House and Senate committees would be allowed to seek expedited court review by a three-judge district court panel if a witness refuses to comply with a subpoena, with direct appeal to the Supreme Court.

Trump works hard and enjoys being President.
Turns out the polls had this one right 55-45.
Onward and Upward. MAGA

Can you remind us what Trump's agenda is again? Oh yeah, tweet, rally, rant and rave at his newest outrage, vacation, repeat.

Voting for someone because they are a minority is pretty stupid.
But people do that.
