Like I said, watch.


Trump is far smarter than you. It's like warning you there's a flood coming. just pat yourselves on the back and go to sleep. I'm only trying to reason with the unreasonable.


I guess it's pointless.

Lol...wow... You really are arguing that this was a purposeful strategy.

Have to give it to you, you sure are creative.

As for the Governors and Senate, which the Pubs gained - Trump is set for 2020, he will need those Governors. His agenda will be stalled for two years as the left continue to resist. THAT is not what their constituents wanted.

BTW, with the vast majority in the Senate (+5) Trump will own the judiciary. The benches will be stacked with Constitutional/Originalist judges. The Republicans haven't had the SCOTUS and Circuit courts for 60 years. Think about that.


Pat yourselves on the back for taking the house. A battle won for sure. With the crazy lineup (Waters going after banks, the rest going for impeachment) you have set yourselves up to lose 2020, bigly.


Write it down, watch it happen.
The Dems won the right to gridlock Trump's legislative agenda. But Trump won the right to go even more conservative with the Judiciary with Republicans doing far better in the Senate than "the polls' predicted.

Since I love government gridlock and a Judiciary that will follow the Constitution, I'm very happy with yesterday's results.

EXACTLY!


Why are the Dems oblivious to this? This is the point I'm trying to make! They won a small battle and dragged the Trojan Horse into the gates!!


As a diehard Libertarian, I can't be happier at the results! We freakin won BIG TIME! The progressives don't even understand what just happened to them.

I think one party not controlling all three is generally a good thing for our nation, unless......

I would say this is not so much a Republican victory, but a victory for all the people, and our constitutional republic.
Sure those who love circumventing the way our government is suppose to work (via a liberal activist court) will not be happy, but we all benefit when our system runs correctly and the way it was intended.

Don't you have to have hope to be in order to 'lose' it.

Was there any slight chance Dems would do better in the Senate?

Not from what I heard.
