he American people rewarded the president—for only the third time in almost a hundred years—with a net gain of three and possibly four Senate seats, lost half the House seats that his predecessor lost

It took a while for it to sink in with me, but the fact is that increasing the number of conservatives in the senate is more important in the long run than losing a few in the house.

Because with the senate supporting President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments, the libs in congress will have a very difficult time with their harassment tactics.

Also the dim margin in the house is so thin that the house will be fighting internal battles that will make legislation much more difficult.

In a way it is irony at its most delicious. The dims packed the courts with liberal judges, got control of the government by legislating from the bench, made the house and senate impotent and the executive powers of the president much more effective....and now they are at the mercy of the very system they created.

President Trump by his actions in the next few months, not days because some of his moves will by necessity take place after the new congress is seated in January, will demonstrate his political genius.

IN other words, “You ain’t seen nothing yet”.

Get the popcorn ready.

It is, actually.

Midterms are almost always a net negative for the President’s party. The 2018 midterms were more favorable for Trump than almost any midterm election in a century.

Republicans picked up governorships and senate seats, and held House losses to a historically low number. Importantly, many of the worst RINOs and GOP Trump haters in the House are no longer there.

It is clear that Trump was rewarded by the electorate for being strong, putting America first, and keeping his campaign promises.

While the Democrats cheer the lemons, President Trump will make lemonade.

We have entered a strange new time when the past does not give us a clue to the future. It will be an interesting two years before the next election.
