Patience is key. Come Nov 2018, Dems will win a House majority and will elect a new Speaker who will be 3rd in line for when we get rid of tRump and Pence.

Ummmm, not sure I would go that far, the Dems may gain some seats but I am not sure at this point that any of that is a sure thing, much depends on what happens with the SP and what the Congress does with what is unearthed. The GOP likes having the smokescreen hiding their own ineptitude at passing Bills, even their own members are unwilling to support some of the "stuff" the House has come up with so far. We shall see.

Dems need to flip 24 seats to win the house.
In Nov 2016, 23 of those 24 seats voted Clinton.
It's not a sure thing but it's certainly doable.

And having bozo the clown in the WH acting like an idiot is not a win for anyone.



If these presidential races were one-on-one contests, you might have a point, but since they weren't, you don't.


The votes cast to neither Clinton nor Trump (i.e., votes cast for Stein, Johnson, et. al.) exceeded the vote difference between Clinton and Trump.


Of course, we'll never know who would have won the popular vote were it a contest between Clinton and Trump, but the fact of the matter is that the variables that control the popular vote go far beyond the two most popular candidates and their respective followings.

Collusion is only present by Clintons, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Comey, Obama, etc.

Add the pressure from the courts on gerrymandering, and it's doable.

This issue is so much more important to the nation than the possibility that Trump and his campaign conspired with Russian Cyberspys to rig the 2016 election. That is nothing compared to Lynch meeting with Clinton on the tarmac for 30 minutes.

Let's home in on the stuff that really matters.
Collusion on the tarmac. A secret meeting. Lynch was not on her scheduled trip. It was a planned meeting to speak on the investigation of Hillary and you know it .

Just like comey's testimony... no, they weren't investigating trump back when he was there, but who knows if they are now... perhaps lynch will be one of the people caught up in the investigation. Just a suggestion - allow the investigation to take its course, and let the chips fall where they may. Who knows if someone - or anyone - is guilty or not, until the facts are uncovered. Only time will tell.

Didn't see y'all complaining about all the repeat investigations over Benghazi, so y'all should have a little patience on this one. Oh, wait, I do seem to remember repeated calls to find something and "lock her up" during all those investigations. And, you can't extend the same courtesy to those who believe there was wrongdoing during the campaign season? Bummer.

So write to the White House and ask Trump to direct his new FBI Director to start an investigation, no need for a special counsel. Christopher Wray is probably bored and looking for some action.

A lot will depend on what fresh hell trump puts the republicans through before the elections, and how successful any sitting republicans are in distancing themselves from the madness.

Along with that, how well the dems can portray themselves as a better choice, how motivated the voters are to either force a change or hang on to their current reps, and all the other variables of a typical mid term election.
