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.

“The Republicans blew a golden opportunity to jettison Ryan from the House speakership...”

The same opportunity they blew with Boehner. It’s almost like they don’t see it as an opportunity, except for more of the same.

No doubt about it, Paul Ryan was the “Never Trumper” “Judas” traitor that did lift one finger to preserve the Republican majority in the house.

The good news is, most of the scum & /vermin “Paul Ryan RINOs” quit their seats in the House, so the current GOP House caucus in much more conservative then the one before.

Have you all noticed how happy Trump is these days. He knows the Democrat low life will royally screw up the house...with all their various nutcases trying to rule the roost.

What Trump really needs to address is illegal voting across the board. Although voting does not fall under his control...he can be very effective in forcing the local state leaders to clean up the voting fraud act.

The whole voting process needs serious updating and reform...across the board in the entire country. Millions of non-citizens are voting with ease. It needs to be stopped right now!!!

And, it seems, an opportunity the GOP likely won't see again to lock in control of the U.S. Senate.

I’d be inclined to agree except for the fact that McCarthy winning over Jordan for minority leader indicates more “House” cleaning is needed.

They also blew an opportunity to replace Ryan with someone other than his swamp creature deputy.

I think we might have kept the House had it not been for the fraud, I think they stole 20 seats!
