The Democrats’ House win could be good for Trump. When all of his policies go wrong, he has someone to blame. For a president who is good at narrative-building and blame-shifting — two practices at which Trump excels — facing an opposition party that holds a modicum of power can actually make the president more popular. His agenda might encounter more difficulty than before, but now there is always someone else who the president can blame.

That's what they say. Still, Obama lost 1000 democratic seats across the country in 8 years. Trump gave a third of those back, three hundred and thirty three seats, in his first two years of service. The republicans got destroyed. I'm quoting an article below from December 2017.

Thanks Trump and by the way tick tock

"After years of strong gains in states across the country, Republicans now fear they stand to lose hundreds of state legislative seats in next year’s midterm elections if there is a significant voter backlash against President Trump."

Yup. I've been saying this exact same thing for two weeks in the other Midterm Elections thread.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Trump said emphatically, if the dems investigate him he will not work with them. I don't know what do you think? Are the dems going to investigate Trump?

Nobody is worried about the GOP losing the house. This is an extremely common event you're celebrating here and was expected by anybody but JSF and anybody else who watches Hannity every day.

Again I'll note that this time it made history however since they actually gained power in the Senate while losing the house.

At the end of the day, I'm happy that it happened. I've always said that the country is better off when our government is too busy fighting each other to get anything done.

Though I am human and admit that my primal urges would have enjoyed rubbing your smug face in it if they lost the house, I'm over that now and maintain my belief that we're all better off after the mid-terms went the way they pretty much always do.


Do Right, Be Right. :)
