Endless impeachment hearings.

If it’s in fact the case, there is going to be a power struggle among the old guard who remember the power they had as recently as 2009 and the socialist upstarts who are champing at the bit to push the old guard into the mud to get to power. Pelosi will try to put a structure in place that doesn’t beclown the party to its donor base ahead of 2020. She’ll fail. It may actually be fun to watch.

1. No more tax reform.

2. Democrats will finally get access to Trump's tax returns. Expect them to be leaked via chairman privileges. Expect them to be leaked.

Endless impeachment hearings.

Which will guarantee Trump's re-election and the Rats losing the House in 2020.

NBC talking heads gave Trump a “win”. Then they brought in Nichol Wallace. She says Trump played it safe because he knew the house was lost.

What I see is lots of rinos lost. The conservative caucus in the house will have more power.

Just as in the current Congress, the House will pass a ton of bills that, when they get to the Senate, McConnell will strangle in their cribs. Any stupid House bill that inexplicably gets through the Senate will be vetoed by PDJT. Gridlock, executive orders, conservative judges by the ton. RBG stays on life support for another 2 years.

Losing house pretty typical for midterm. Reagan did.

Rs were never going to build wall, no loss; Immigration policy which would have slow flow wont happen, Dems investigating nothing and losing voter support for it after a few months, Dems get blame for not moving legslation, R’s continue loading up on judges, Trump executive orders continue, no important bills pass, country continues to be overrun with illegals. Just like last years of Obama

If they win, they’ll so overplay their hand that the Republicans take it again in two years.

Democrats overplay their hand with Investigations etc...

NO Legislation will get passed. That could be a good thing.

Trump continues to undo 0bama’s “pen” with Executive Orders that will ultimately go to the courts and not Congress.

I think at least half of the Migrant caravan will turn around and go home as a result.

The other half will face Trump and our courts.

Oh, and our Military.

How are they winning?

Project Veritas has released undercover video of elections officials in Texas explain how non-citizens can vote in the November 6th 2018 Election.

Really wish we could just split and get it over with. I’d do almost do anything to be rid of the left—not to harm them, just to live in free America again.

not much, but nobody knows. that’s sort of the point; stay tuned.

everything the house does will go to the senate to die; pretty much what happened for the past two years, but this time, we’ll be thankful instead of resentful.

Impeachment. And even though they cannot win, they will get to spend a 6 months to a year on a show trial in the Senate. CNN will go wall to wall with “the impeachment of Donald Trump”. In the meantime, the economy will crash, the market will tank, foreign policy will fall into outright disarray. There will be no chance of killing Obamacare.

A lot of bad things will happen.

None really. The House under GOP control barely got anything done. The heavy lifting of Trump policy/goals was in the Senate. Judges judge judges. Oh, and if the Dems want to investigate? Let them. All a waste of time—and will probably trigger GOP Senate investigations to offset.

Hopefully the Pubs will pass funding for the wall before the Dems take office in January. Then the new more Republican Senate can pass it when they take office.

A bill has to pass both houses of the same Congress.

The rat drama would start like you’ve never seen. The Night of the Long Knives for Pelosi and old white men in the rat 🐀 party.

As for the President, he gets a fresh challenge and he likely starts kicking some people in the head.

Sessions is out like yesterday

I think the Senate pick ups (Trump effect) vs difficulty in House with every single seat up for re-election and 40 Repubs retiring will tamp down any effort to say it was a referendum on trump. Oh, they will try, but it’s clearly not the case.
