    It could but only an idiot that doesn't know how we vote for presidential elections would argue that.

    Like the Republicans did for 6 years? Seems that’s the only way to get our deficits under control — so be it!

    Unlike Ryan, she only needs a one vote majority to pass legislation. That's what she's got.
    I don't love her either, but she sure can count. :)

    Yep, your'e right. The majority DID vote for Clinton. Only an idiot would deny that. Just like only an idiot would mistakenly think that the majority vote matters with the electoral college. Maybe somebody should have told Clinton about the electoral college so she would know not to ignore several of her "blue wall" states.

    I figured if you guys clawed the house of representatives it was simply the beginning.

    No way would a Democrat invent Chess for the simple reason that the rules stay the same and the game is played fairly.

    It is not legislation until the President signs.

    Thus making the situation no different than it was when Bill Clinton was president of the united states.

    It was a pretty good primary. Yay us!!!! The only thing that could make it better is if we take the house back in 2020 and this clueless impeachment issue is just the thing to do it for us.

    More fake news. When the counting is finished trump will have lost more than 27 but that really doesn't matter does it?

    Impeachment would be wonderful but remember it is a multi step process. The House of Representatives Impeaches, which is alike to a Grand Jury bringing an Indictment. That takes a simple majority vote.

    Next the Senate must try the case with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding. A two-thirds majority is required to convict. If the Senate does not convict, that's it, the President remains in office.

    What are the odds of getting enough Republican Senators to vote with the Democratic minority? All the way up to two-thirds? Something of a longshot, yes?

    This is not intended to argue against an Impeachment vote by the House. I've been ready for that since Trump and Clinton were nominated by their parties. Didn't matter to me which one of them won the election, either outcome was an outrage.

    So, Trump won, I'm good to go on whatever Congress can do to damage that con artist.

    That hopefully depends on what evidence is brought forth, not on party affiliation. We're in real trouble if our system is crippled to such an extreme.

    27, 29, not like Obama's 63, not including the 6 Senate seats. Every candidate in this election that Obama stumped for lost. Kinda funny.

    More often than not I actually prefer a divided government no matter which party is involved.

    I just hope we can actually go to policy, although I’m sure both sides are going to be throwing out investigations now in some sort of morality arms race....

    If life imitates art I see trump as the Roadrunner and democrats in the House as Wylie Coyote
