For now, the greatest loss is that Pelosi controls half of the investigation into the Clinton/Obama attempted coup. We can expect the House side of things to become useless on that front.

Overall, Paul Ryan deserves the lion’s share of the blame for losing the House. He chose to do nothing for the last two years - except for when he was actually sabotaging the President. His pathetic ‘leadership’ gave the GOP House candidates no platform of success to campaign upon.

I don't have the same criticism of Ryan. If anything, the GOP in Congress has been the victims of their own success over the last 25 years. It's impossible to manage an agenda in the House of Representatives when your constituents include both: (1) suburban "soccer moms" in the NYC and D.C. metro areas who love a nanny-state government, and (2) libertarian gun owners in rural Kentucky who think even the U.S. Postal Service is too much government.

Go find me three issues where both of these cohorts of voters will have any agreement at all.

That rat faced mf cannot get out of DC fast enough to suit me. I wish Trump could draft him to be ambassador to Libya.
