“Nothing is forever.”
You are certainly correct. However, Trump is a wild card. If he delivers, the GOP stands to gain *more* in 2018 with all of the Senate seats up in solid red states. If he does a superb job, the GOP could gain a couple of seats in the “purple” tier. I think a milquetoast Republican would have meant traditional midterm losses. Trump is (or I should say appears to be) of a different breed.
This “winning” will certainly come to an end someday. Everything is cyclical. However, I have a feeling that things are just getting started for our side :-). People, in general, are completely sick and tired of the status quo.
JUST STOP.
We are IMMEDIATELY going to hear . . . “we have power! We can do all the things we want!”
The Dems had power and did a LOT of what they wanted, and it was too much.
Over-reaching means you can’t have everything you want. Get calibrated on this now. And no, don’t then stand up and say WHAT THE HELL DID I VOTE FOR? You voted against Hillary. You voted against. Not for.
It’s just 8 years since they had an absolutely overwhelming majority. Now they are in a thin, not overwhelming, minority, and we won the presidency by just 100K or so votes across 3 states. We have FAR LESS majority than they did, and THEY over reached.
With our smaller majority, it takes even less to over-reach.
Be Careful.
