If the dems take the house -- then all of Trump's policies and all the crap he's trying to do goes out the window because it will never make it past the house or never even be brought to the floor. ...plus this could very well dictate if Trump even remains president (for a huge number of reasons) and will also protect the Muller investigation.

It certainly can.

The decision to elect GW Bush resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent people (with the support of most of the dems who are berating Trump.)


An important (not THE most important) election comes in 2020 when we see whether or not the dems can forget about worrying about where people pee and put up a candidate who pays attention to the needs of real people.

Like this, for example:

NJ has had a dem controlled legislature as long people can remember, and a string of high profile governors from both parties.

Obama took office with a dem majority in both houses.

He made sure that a man can marry a man, but one of the most travelled bridges in the US, in the richest country in the history of the world, still doesn't work.

People might seem stupid, but they they're not THAT stupid.

If the dems don't wake up we're likely to have Trump for another term
