One of the ironies of yesterday’s results is that I believe Trump has a much better chance of getting re-elected in 2020 with the Democrats in control of the House. It gives the GOP a ready-made excuse NOT to pass any legislation they never wanted to pass in the first place, and it gives Trump a great punching bag in that doddering old dingbat Pelosi.
Here’s my one concern about 2020 coming out of last night. The three surprise states Trump won in 2016 (PA, WI and MI) all had statewide elections on the ballot and Republicans lost all including healthy margins in PA and MI. So they reverted to form as D states. The question for 2020 will be whether Trump can keep that coalition going in these states.
