We’ll have gridlock for two years. GOP holds the Senate so a lot of bills will simply die in The Senate.

Pelosi is brandishing her supersized gavel to once again reign in terror in the house

In short to all the prior replies...all hell is gonna break out.

Since the senate will be in control of the GOP, there will be nothing done and that is what the socialists want.

There will be Russia investigations, impeachment etc.

The whole thing will be one big circus. You think the Kavanaugh hearings were bad? You aint seen nothing yet.

Many useless investigations. Party destroying impeachment.

Most importantly NOTHING happens without Senate approval.

Also the narrow margin means D’s must keep ALL their members in line which is impossible.

2 years of gridlock which is overall great for USA (obozocare will be killed by SCOTUS due to severability).

In the cesspool known as DummicraticUnderground, they claim Dems are already asking for POTUS’ tax returns, that they’ll investigate him, they’ll have “real ethics”, and that Mueller’s investigation will be more difficult for Trump to stop.

I know some are claiming they will impeach - it’s the House that launches impeachment proceedings.

I feel it’ll be beneficial for motivating pro-Trump voters in 2020, even though the loss stings.

1. Publication of Trumps tax records.
2. Impeachment of President Trump
3. An array of investigations into the illegality of Trump Whitehouse
a. Russia
b. Sex scandals
c. Environmental pollution
d. Economic hearings to incite the next financial crisis for Election 2020 because the Dems know they need another recession like the one they started in 2008 with the help of folks like Chuck Schemer and Barney Frank who actually created the housing crisis bubble

Trump will have to craft a political strategy like Ronald Reagan in 1984 and Bill Clinton in 1996—triangulation or something of that sort. Run against the opposition Congress, and try to win back those suburban white women in these House districts.

Ask for divided government to get something done to preserve your legacy.

It is a divided country.

It’s clear at this point.

Impeachment hearings day one, investigations out the wazoo, a fall stock market, slowing economy and nothing positive for the country.
...........................................................

One very positive thing would be that those actions by dems could easily result in a massive Trump win in 2020. And that would be an even wiser Trump with no election 4 years away to be concerned about.

Spending is obviously the big one. There will be bitter battles as the Dems try to leverage their control over spending to stop Trump’s agenda and enact their own. The GOP better get the wall locked in during the lame duck.

The other one to me will be Russia particularly, but investigations in general. The Dems will shut down the spygate investigations, try to leverage Mueller’s report into an impeachment change, and then subpoena the hell out of the Trump Administration on everything else.

I don’t think it will stop Trump, but it will make everything much more difficult.

Democrats in the House will focus on vengeance and not issues. After two years of their hissy fit hopefully Americans will realize their big misstake. We will all be extremely sick of them by then (and their complicit media).

It’ll be a s***storm for 2 years. Fortunately Ds are not smart enough to dial it back. They’ll go berserk. It’ll virtually guarantee DJT wins another term.

I don’t think it’s assured yet, regardless of what Fox says.

Depends on what margin.

Consider this fact: For the last two years, the President has dealt with a House GOP that was more globalist than nationalist. Let’s be honest here; the House was more or less Democrat thanks to Ryan and the RyanOs.

And Ryan and his ilk have departed the stage. Many because they retired in order to try to screw Trump. Others because they’re being voted out.

In other words, the seats that the GOP lost were largely globalist shill seats so far; it will make very little difference to put Rats in those seats.

And if it’s a narrow D majority, we can probably get what we want anyways; remember what happened last time they tried a shutdown stunt?

They WILL overreach. But in which directions? Will they have Pelosi as speaker? She appears to be losing her faculties. Will they spend tons of time and effort trying to “get” Trump? They are the second stupidest party, you know.

Thank you Paul Ryan for NOTHING! We have had the House for two years, and you played ball control run-out-the-clock politics. Paul Ryan, you did NOTHING for two years but tread water and cut out paper dolls. Paul Ryan, you are a disgrace.
