    The party that has the WH and Congress loses seats in the midterm elections. History has shown that to be the rule vs the exception. However, I do not agree that what happened in this cycle was a wave. If both houses flipped, that’s a whole different discussion.

    The promise was Mexico would pay for the wall and ACA would be replaced with something better. Both lies. Republicans suck just as much as Dems.

    Trump will have to eliminate many more federal bureaucrats before a Republican will be able to win again in the Northern VA DC suburbs.

    He has made a good start.

    We had something better.

    All the Democrats and McCain voted against it.

    When can we expect the Democrats in the House to put together some legislation to fix healthcare and immigration, since they're in charge now?

    Yes, almost all Republican politicians suck. Just like Democrat pols.

    whites are divided almost 50\50, that is why last election the white nationalist had so much power as they normally do not vote they tipped the scales for republicans

    but Minorities are starting to learn that they can tip the scales too and that changes everything if they get out and vote, that is why Republicans been doing everything they can to try and prevent that, but I think it's too late, the cat is out of the bag now

    I think that is a fair assessment. I also think its true. He is to be feared, and the damage he is doing to America will last for a generation. IMO.

    hey, if he wants to work with dems in a bipartisan manner and take credit for it, more power to him, I am good with that

    Trump tired to do this early on with dems but republicans stopped him

    Obviously you don't know that it's staggered so no the entire house is not up for reelection

    I think your right about draining the swamp. Now that Sessions gone I look for charges on Hillary, Commey, Lynch, several more in FBI and IRS.

    It's a game. The house will try, then the Senate will shoot it down and both parties will point fingers at each other all the while the big man will take to Twitter like and little girl.

    Pfffts, the last time those Reps were in control of both house, they couldn't even come together with a good plan. Pathetic.

    The DP knows what Trump wants, and both parties know that Trump is the ultimate Independent. They work with him he will work with them.
