Midterms a Re-run of Election Night 2016
Canada Free Press ^ | 11/08/18 | Judi McLeod

President Trump came out of Midterms stronger than ever.

It happened in 2016 and it came boomeranging back with a vengeance on Tuesday night.

The progressive-left’s playing a new Election Game that can be best described as “even-when-you-win-you-lose because we will never allow winners of whom we do not approve to ever govern”.

In a land where politicians get away with stealing everything from the masses, we don’t need to ask, “How did it come to this?”

Baloney.

The GOP lost the House.

Not that they were doing a lot legislatively beforehand, but this development slows things down even more.

The stain is how close many of these wacky Democrats came to winning.

I still want a ‘total money spent’ by EACH SIDE for this election cycle. A seat held by Republicans for decades, in our former home valley in California, was flipped. While the 31 year old ‘proudly bisexual’ Dem received an emergency donation of $5 million from the Blooomberg PAC,
(While claiming that she didn’t take any PAC money), right before the election. The incumbent Republican had less than $1 million for the whole election cycle. I thought the Republicans were the Party of money!

But, but he grabs front holes. That cannot be tolerated.

I agree. Polish the turd all you want, it's still a turd. Granted, it could have been a huge, steamy pile, but a turd it still is.

The House can't do much of anything without the Senate. Yes, they can obstruct and investigate. But if I were Nancy (or whoever they elect as Speaker) I would focus on getting something done, creating a record to run on in 2020, as they'll be raising funds and campaigning again in just a few short months.

And the Senate, stronger than before and not needing any House input, will surely get to confirm another Supreme Court justice and fast track the remaining Trump appointees. Meanwhile the Executive can declassify the FBI, CIA & NSA documents that expose the truth about the FISA scandal and Russia collusion witch hunt.

On balance, the Dems did not gain much of anything except the opportunity to show how bereft of ideas they really are.

The GOP lost the House.

And they are on track to pick up fewer than half the Senate seats that they could have or should have. Tuesday was not a victory for the President or anyone else other than the Democrats.

This.

Also, they’ll be able to continue to demonstrate what a bunch of nuts are running that Party - unless Pelosi (or whomever becomes Speaker, because there are no guarantees) really reins them in, it’ll be like the looney bin in the House. I’m almost hoping for that, so that they get CRUSHED in 2020 - I was very disappointed to not be able to replenish my supply of Liberal Tears...but I have enough to last until about 2 years from now.
