Trump fought like "Hell" to keep the Senate and gain Senate seats, which he did. Knowing that Trump is a raging street fighter on all issues the "he" loves & pursues with super vigor, he put little pressure on Paul Ryan, who just stood by and let the House slip from GOP hands.
Now...I am thinking, "Did Trump want to give the House to the "Nutcase" Democrats and let them weave their own patterns of self-destruction leading into the 2020 POTUS, campaign. I think so. We shall see as time rolls by. The Democrats have no leaders, they have no issue agendas, they just have hate for each other and non-stop hate for POTUS, Trump. There could "338" Democrat candidates running for POTUS...ain't that just grand? Harris, Booker, Biden, Warren, Sanders, Clinton, and more then 100 other Democrat, POTUS wannabees who can't cut the mustard in POTUS land,....are living in La-La-Land!!!
Trump looks and sees he owns the Senate, he owns the Judiciary, he owns the Executive branch of the Federal Government, Mueller is making a blooming fool of himself and about 90% of American voters could less what Mueller & Company does or does not do, one way or the other.
The House stands alone, it can do nothing without Senate approval. Investigations of Trump are a silly waste of time...the American people want real hard, legislative action. I think Trump is comfortable, just where he is at the moment!!! That Trump is one smart dude or, maybe he is just not an ordinary run-of-the mill Washington Swamp Dweller, Politician. We shall see, as the future unfolds!!!
One thing, however is certain as the Sun Rising tomorrow morning...."There was no Blue Wave", because owning the House of Representatives alone politically, is useless politics!!! Good Luck, Ms. Nancy Pelosi
The odds of trump being re-elected are no better today than 50/50.
You mean if the democrats are allowed to cheat like they did three weeks ago.
Is your claim of Trump’s 50-50 chance “the mindset of Trump” or is it “the opposite of the mindset of Trump.”
As for Trump, many endangered GOP House members represented districts that Clinton won and they were not eager to have Trump come campaign for them. Trump thus put his efforts into campaigning for Senate candidates who wanted his help and who were in states that he carried.
Once the House elected Ryan, an absolute TRUMP HATER, to be Speaker, Trump was through with them.
They picked a side...and Trump responded in kind.
Hey we got rid of dead wood like Mia Love who showed Trump no love. She’s never run again as a Republican. I’d say some progress was made here and there.
I’d like to see what the America thinks of Nancy’s plan to raise taxes and leave the border wide open.
Seems like the Dems have to propose things. Their trouble is they are deeply troubled about what to propose — the Bernie bots and Constant Moonbat Cortez are going to stir up trouble for them.
Ridiculous. Trump is a patriot and he knows that with the House they’d have got lots more important legislation passed—which he also of course could have run for reelection on. He’s now facing two years of stupid investigations from the House.
But yeah, the Senate the more important one, with the House perhaps flippable again in two years.
If you see Mia Love as dead wood it must be because you’re a termite.
Well said!
Why would we care about what is good for DC? The more tied up they are, the less they get done, the better for We The People.
Right. This was a disaster. We had a huge opportunity to win more Senate seats than we did, and should have held the House.
Yes, with the economy etc we should have picked up between 3-5 senate seats easy and held the house. Instead we lose 40 seats, and pick up 2 of 10 contested senate seats. Losing senate seats in states trump won by a landslide? How do you explain that? Disaster is the only realistic way of looking at this, and that is even before the dems start their BS in the house in January. People better wake up or 2020 will lose the senate and the White House. Unfortunately, people here want to believe anything positive whether it’s justified by the facts or not.
He didn’t rally for the House (the GOP House that didn’t get him the money together for the Wall) because he only has so much time, and the lame ass GOP couldn’t fight its own way out of a wet paper sack. However things the President cannot control work out, he will play the next hand he gets better than anyone else ever could.
This should be interesting.
The invisible elephant that nobody here sees is the violence towards Republicans by the the Left.
Sen. Paul’’s assault; the GOP softball practice shooting that maimed Rep. Scalise and the others; the Crozet, Va., chartered Congressional train that was rammed and derailed; and more than 25 other acts of violence that made congressional families decide to leave politics had a profound effect.
I think the GOP should have featured Democrat violence in its ads.
Watch and learn how much power the house has. When the pubbies got control over the house under Obama they acted like it was nothing. We will witness the true power of the house under dem leadership. It will be enormous.
