I still don't like the fact that Republican lost the House majority. The silver lining for me is that a lot of "Never Trumpers" either lost their seats or retired - both in Congress and Senate. So overall, I think Trump will have stronger support in the second half of his first term because let's face it, many of the Republicans were working against him as well such as Flake, Ryan, McCain, Corker, etc., and now they are all gone in one way or another.

I don't blame Trump for the House. The Republicans blew a golden opportunity to jettison Ryan from the House speakership and install a person who would have brought some energy and purpose to the House Republicans - much as Newt Gingrich did in 1994.

Leaving in lame duck Paul Ryan as Speaker was a very bad move.

And if Chris McDaniel had stuck to his original plan to challenge Whittaker, and not drained votes from Trump's choice, Mississippi would have another seated senator instead of a run-off...those who voted McDaniel, even though he was the underdog by a solid slab of points, have helped the Dems stay alive for another senate seat.

They call dem supporters "useful idiots" while being the exact same thing.

I’m not sure you can claim Bill Lee (R), Governor elect TN, as a Trump victory. Lee is replacing a Republican governor and ran against a very liberal democrat.

The others you named, no doubt. I don’t think Marsha Blackburn (R)senator elect TN would have won were it not for DJT.

It is absolutely fake news probably 90% of the time. It is an effort to cover-up the truth about the past administration.

The media fails to inform American citizens that the House of Representatives, although is now controlled by the Democrat Party will be both weak & in effective because of chaos inside the failing Democrat Party. Stay tuned for some interesting and funny gigs and games from the Dem nutcases in the House!!!

You under-estimate the mischief this will cause as the media give a bull horn to every one of the 100's of illegitimate investigations planned. It will make Mueller's Russia probe look like a walk in the park.

Repubs needs to open Senate investigations on the House members spilling classified secrets. Trump needs to enforce Voting Rights Act violations and RICO the perps with handcuffs and jail. Of course this will completely blow up all sense of comity, but it is what the (D)'s will have brought and what the media will shout about next to blame at Trump 24/7. It will be a bottomless pit of accusation.

(D)'s will impeach Trump toothlessly at least twice.

FReegards!

Too much spin. He also suffered a heavy loss in and of the House. Probably as much for not having beat back corruption and voter fraud in his first two years in office as for anything.

Now, that’s not a complaint. God bless him for taking on the hardest task on the planet. Just reality as of right now. I don’t think delusion is especially helpful.

The election was a mixed result. Neither all good nor all bad.

No wall and Ocare still around = House lost to Dims.

If our Governor had appointed Chris McDaniel (who almost won a senate race in 2014 against the existing republican)and got 15% in this one there wouldn’t be a runoff in MS. You can always count on the GOP doing stupid stuff.
