it means Trump no longer has a rubber stamp in congress for things like repealing health care and tax breaks for the wealthy.ConorKavanagh said:So I'm not from the U.S, but I glance at what's happening from time to time. What does this all mean for the presidency of Donald Trump now?
The House can also legally demand documents like tax returns from Trump and others in his administration. They can also launch investigations and load committees.
On a larger picture, there was a lot of democrat gains in crucial states that led to the Trump victory of 2016. It is difficult to extrapolate the 2018 results to 2020, but its a very good sign (if you don't like Trump).
On the other hand. Some Trump-backed governors and senators won, which also displays he still has a lot of clout and can throw his weight around, and is still a force to be reckoned with.0 -

You mean like the 8 years of Obama? I’d love for Pelosi to step before the cameras and announce, “our number one priority over the next two years is to see Team Trump Treason fail.”mcgruff10 said:

I'm not sure this is true or not. My perception is that Trump doesn't give a shit about policy, so long as it lets him market. He has no actual belief system. The one exception is immigration/minorities. He will stand fast on this issue, but no others really. They may actually get some stuff done if he can strong arm a handful of Senators.mcgruff10 said:

That gets into the question of who owns who. I don't think they have a belief system other than immigration either. They turned against the FBI, Bush, McCain, basically anyone who Trump stirred them up against. He could get them bought into medicare for all. They are that easily manipulated.dignin said:

My girl won.. Abigail Spanberger defeated that POS Dave Brat in VA-07. This is a district that hasn't had a D since the Southern Strategy in 1971. And he isn't even welcomed back to Randolph Macon as a professor because he trashed higher education while campaigning. Scum bag.unsung said:Did your team win?0 -

I'm for Team Planet and dems are generally more environmental than reps so overall it was possible a tiny Team Planet win in the House. Unfortunately, dem Jessica Morse lost her bid to replace long time conservative, pro Trump, Planet hater Tom McClintock, so in the case, Team Planet took a hit. That leaves me with a lot of unhappiness this morning.unsung said:Did your team win?

unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487This is my favorite type of government given the possible results. I love gridlock. Lock it down.
I remember when Starbucks had a petition to get govt going, I refused to sign, she couldn't understand why. The next two years are going to be great. Although I am definitely right sided on most things the GOP the last two years has been scared of their own shadows. I hope no legislation gets passed.0 -

Another 1st not mentioned - WA-8 went Dem for the first time ever, so WA flipped one of the House seats. Elected Dr. Kim Schrier, a local pediatrician, who ran on a healthcare reform platform. First time candidate going up against an established GOP candidate that had run (and lost) 3 previous state-wide elections. She will be the only female doctor in Congress. About time the old boys club of doctors gets a new perspective.my2hands said:
