 A small Democrat majority. |

Right now they are at 220, jut two over the 218 threshold.
Two special elections wipes that out.

I watched Trump's presser this morning. He didn't come right out and say it, but this is almost his preferred scenario. Either the slim majority works to get some things done, or they go full-obstructionist and make Trump the good guy. Either way, he's more likely than ever to win in 2020. He was also happy to report that many of the lost seats were by swampers who refused his help. "too bad" he said LOL |

I agree this is the perfect scenario for a Trump reelection. He's got Democrats to blame now.

No matter how you 'spin it' the GOP LOST!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I voted for Trump, and I wanted MOST of his ideas to work. BUT If the ?GOP had taken 15 more seats then there would be no need for the BLAME GAME which I DESPISE.
I worked in DC for a few years. All the government needs is someone or something to blame and all is well. Then as they stumble along they repeat, BUSH done this......OBAMA done this..... IF they hadn't all would be well...
Now when nothing gets done, you will hear, if the Democrats hadn't cheated, threw in the 'Migrant caravans', caused the shootings, caused the bombs to be sent, etc..... And all that voter fraud!!!!... AND those stupid /Christians who voted Democrat caused this, of course they are headed for hell anyway, so they will pay. But in the mean time they left us in this mess.
NO,,,,, if someone had ran good solid races, or been the men/women they should have, the GOP might have a REAL majority. Even maybe if our president could quit calling everyone childish names for THREE months and stop alienating good folk who might like those people, HE might have the majority he needs.
If I upset you please forgive me, but I despise spinning and blame. Call an Ace and Ace. I didn't say Spade!

Relax Cojak  I think they might actually get a few things done. I know the guy in Dallas said his biggest cause is infrastructure and he has no intention on playing his entire 2 years in the "get trump" game. So lets just see how it goes. The good news is Trump won't be impeached, the business deregulation that jumpstarted the economy won't be reversed, and we're likely to see the most high-court appointments in a 4 year term in history, along with a possible third SCOTUS pick. I think we have a lot to be thankful for, and this really sets up well (potentially) for another 4 years in which we could easily get the House back, and make even more strides in the Senate (most of the seats up in 2020 are democrats). |

I was reading on someone's post on Facebook, that it is rare for the Senate to swing more strongly toward the president during a midterm election.
The senate approves judicial nominations, too.
I wonder why the house didn't just kill the Russia investigations against Trump really fast before the election.

As lame ducks they still can.

And if they don't you'll see why Trump didn't care that they lost. Just more of the swamp draining. The democratic lead House will do enough to swing the vote back to (hopefully), more conservative non-crony Republicans. Between all of the voluntary departures and the election losses, I believe a lot of the corruption in the GOP party is now gone (not all of it of course) |

End result:
D 235
R 199
NC-9 still yet to be decided, may be headed for a new election in that one.
So the dems will have a 35-36 seat majority. GOP will have to flip 18-19 seats to retake the majority. IMHO it will take them a decade to accomplish that feat.

It will happen in the next election.
