The Dems are in a pickle. Most of the new House members have run on not voting for Pelosi to be their majority leader. Guess what, they won't have a choice. They will be breaking campaign promises right out of the gate. Write it down, watch it happen.

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.

Because there aren't the ritual deflections and push back, I can only think you're actually coming to the realization that Trump played his best hand. He got exactly what he wanted.

Sorry to be the bringer of reality.

6 more years of Trump, OMG! Be happy you took the house. Let's see if you can keep it. I doubt it. If you continue on the socialist bent, there's no way. You're destroying the Democrat party.

No doubt controlling the Senate is still a good thing.

But what Trump wanted was full control...and he didn't get it.

Wasn't that my point? He knew he wasn't going to get full control so he targeted the Senate! Why is that so difficult to understand? HE WON


Whatever, let's chat in 2 years.


OH OH OH and speaking of years. The Dems are now an average of 15 years older than the Pubs. I thought the Pubs were the party of old white dudes! Your leaders are now between 70-80. OMG, hows that gonna play?

Anyone suffering post-ballot shock at the winners, please remember that everything they promised to do will change once they get their briefing as to the nature of reality in DC.
. . .
The usurer / socialist alliance has ruled since 1933 and they're not going to give up power just because you may still believe in democracy.
. . .
Possible topics of the briefing:
__ No lawful money (dollars) since 1933
__ State of Emergency since 1933
__ USCON bypassed by ‘emergency rules’
__ Abolition of private property via FICA (1935)
__ Impossible to repay public debt
__ Perpetual budget deficits to authorize more dollar bills (12 USC Sec 411)
__ People’s Democratic Socialist Republic of America
__ Disarmament agenda (to eliminate ‘benevolent’ from the benevolent totalitarian police state)
__ Infiltration by incompatible groups to spark civil war and depopulation
__ Dissolution of the constitution and Declaration of Independence (and that pesky republican form of government)

New drinking game: every time we here a liberal say "tax returns" from now until 2020 we take a shot of whiskey.

Plan on alcohol poisoning by Veteran's Day next week.

Lol.

Are you really arguing that Trump's strategy was to lose the house?
