...As President Trump explains it eight Dems totally control the U.S. Senate...
This is a two edged sword. We may need 8 Conservatives after 2018 or 2020, if we can find 8, to stop lunatic democrat oppressive gun legislation. But, a liberal majority could make that rule change themselves.
2 senators per state. Majority of red states. GOP will end up with a majority once the Senate is reformed.
