In a word..."mixed". There was alot of US House "dead" GOPe Wood cleared out last night chief among it was "Speaker" Ryan and his ilk. Let face it the loss of the House really SUX, BUT we HAVE to get to work NOW on the 2020 Election! Get REALLY good solid candidates recruited NOW. The Dems WILL overplay their hands(they ALWAYS do) and they WILL be dumped in 2020! Silver lining, WE OWN the Senate!

Naps and dreams are what’s left for us.

DACA isn’t a EO. It’s only policy. It wouldn’t take anyone declaring it unconstitutional. Just end the policy.

[outofsalt]

Yours is a very positive post.

"From this teen, we lost the house, however, I think we'll be in great shape for 2020. The Dems do not have a plan except to impeach and let ILLEGALS in. What we need now is to find great candidates who'll be ready for 2020...I believe that people will be sick of a Dem controlled house... "

The places we lost were mostly blueish and we held the pink to red areas. The candidates that lost were RINO's and weak sisters. We need to work on stronger conservatives for 2020. I would vote for you for House minority leader.

She’s going to have enough trouble dealing with the growing lunatic fringe in her own party.

If she's elected Speaker (likely, but not certain), she'll have no problems. She's no slouch in that department.

She has no morals, ethics, or principles. She's a consummate totalitarian. Just what her party craves.

What should be done to convince voters that socialism will never work? Unfortunately 99% of parents throw their kids into the indoctrination centers (fka public schools) and they (parents) don't talk about issues to their kids.

Here in Hillsborough, the Salle's tax go raised because they need to fix schools. The school board can build a million dollar football stadium, but can't spend money on AC units...? What BS...

Are we losing our longing to have freedom? I hope this is just a minor setback...I mean, look at the economy...we need candidates who'll talk about what America means...we need to bring what conservativism means to youths..

The battle is still going on...we aren't quitting...

[The tax bill gave a tax cut to at least 80% of the voters in my state, but they voted overwhelmingly for Democrats because]

---

No surprise there. But I bet there were plenty of people in purple states who got tax hikes because they make just enough to get a bigger tax bill, thanks to the SALT and other tax deduction limits, , but not enough to get big tax cuts. I was one of that category of people. Based on taxpayer percentile numbers, I have plenty of company - probably a good 5% of taxpayers who would normally vote Republican. Trump’s instincts were right. He should have shelved Ivanka’s retarded non-refundable child care tax credit and hiked the top tax bracket in order to avoid alienating that subset of voters. But Ryan had to have his way. Trump will pay the price for the next two years. And House Republicans will now have to deal with seats in swing states that are gerrymandered to favor Democrats during redistricting in 2020.

[yield 2 the right]

It will happen. Democrats are out for payback, and enough of Senate Majority Republicans will bow to Democrats.

[duckman]

IMO, Prez Trump saved the Senate, Ryan aided in House defeat due to his lack of leadership. Prez will find a way to move forward.

[ConservaTeen]

Salle’s tax should be SALES TAX, sorry...

[Electric Graffiti]

Unlike yourself, I’m not a troll.

I don’t do predictions, I give the facts on the ground. It’s obvious to everyone with more the 3 brain cells to rub together[counts you out] that mueller, sessions and rotten rod are conducting a coup against the President of the United States.

So, of course RR is going to take mueller’s report to congress. “under no obligation”-—get bent, goron.

“It's depressing that the Democrats get any votes at all. They are socialists/Marxists. We are in trouble as a nation.”

“....unfortunately this country has a lethal combination: youth culture on steroids...and a large, permanent underclass...”

To paraphrase de Tocqueville, the American republic will last only until the voters discover they can vote themselves benefits out of the public Treasury.

With half the country (including myself) dependent on tax-payer provided funds, too many will always vote to force the other half to support them. The young, because someone else has always taken care of them, and they have not learned any better...yet. The permanent underclass because the public welfare programs are usually better paying than the jobs they could get with their lack of skills and education. And the government bureaucracies, at all levels - local, state and Federal - because SOMEONE has to administer all these public general welfare programs, and it's “good, government work”, out of the weather and no heavy lifting.

To my fellow dependents, I have only two things to say: 1) TANSTAAFL; 2)Any government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take away everything you have.

But Trump did EVERYTHING RIGHT. And THIS!!!!!

Trump did everything right.

But he was not running against opponents.

He was running against the Media. 90% negative coverage for two years will do a lot.

This shows the media still has a lot of power, especially with suburban women.

Ryan aided in House defeat due to his lack of leadership.

You're too kind. Lack of leadership means Ryan meant to do well, but sucked and failed.

It wasn't lack of leadership -- it was obstruction!

[Alberta's Child]

At the very least, he’ll have a new boss.

[mad_as_he$$]

Yup, I have a healthy respect for SanFranNan’s leadership ability. If only the putz Ryan had her skill set.

[Leaning Right]

> with a definitely more Trump oriented Senate, impeachment would be some sort of suicide pact for these new house democrats to go on record voting for, knowing the chances in the other chamber are exactly ZERO <

The chances of convicting Bill Clinton in the Senate was darn near zero. But the House went ahead and impeached him anyway.

I think there’s a good chance the new House will impeach Trump. Back in 1998, most Republicans disliked Bill Clinton. But it wasn’t anything like the searing, deep hatred the Left has for Trump today.

Consider last night’s results fitting. Our POTUS is always up to a challenge. Do believe he was successful (though others might not see the strategy). This should be a learning experience. Making his rules, he plays the game his way. d’rats will be an interesting bunch to watch. Do they really eat their own?

[Alberta's Child]

In my area, most of the taxpayers who were affected by the SALT deduction limit actually came out ahead -- because the AMT had eliminated the SALT deduction for them already anyway. The elimination of the AMT gave them a tax break in exchange for the elimination of SALT deductions they never had in the first place.

[who knows what evil?]

American women love Communism.

1. I don’t do predictions ...

2. So, of course RR is going to take mueller’s report to congress.

#2 is a prediction -- isn't it? And you have the balls to call anyone "numbnuts" and "goron?"

No wonder these quarterly fundraisers last the entire quarter these days. I don't know anyone who would spend a nickel to support a website that lets A-holes like you insult the "customers" like that.
