Because that has implications

Wisconsin Michigan Pensylvania and Nevada all have dem governors now

The repubs lost gubertorial races too

Only the senate was a win for them

Dems lost Florida and Ohio

Both were incumbents

Still, those are swing states that were pretty contested

Plus gains in the senate

Also it looks god for trump in 2020
Both Ohio and Florida seem to lean to him

I just think that a lot of people here are jumping to the worst outcomes too quickly. It's pretty normal to lose house seats in the first midterm

If you step back and look at the large picture, things aren't looking pretty for the DNC

they keep backing the wrong horse

I just wanna see Hillary v Trump 2.0 in 2020

I don't think Hillary has another campaign in her

last one nearly killed her

They lost key governorships, they lost key senate races, most of the house seats they won were from neocons, a number of their potential candidates in 2020 got wiped

I wonder if losing the house would actually help Trump in the 2020 election

it probably will mean getting that wall is much harder though right now

even with a majority in the house that doesn't necessarily mean instant veto though right? or do dems literally autovote no on anything proposed by republicans?

I bet they would, just out of spite

yeah I was thinking that might actually be the case

Need 2/3 of the vote

SO it's kinda hard no matter what

ha

idk man Cruz seems kinda cool

Party allegiances aren't as rigid in the house as the senate

Reps from swing districts really have to watch themselves, unlike senators

Plus the die like fruit flies thanks to the term lengths

Rememeber the power of FREE SHIT

That 55 seat senate

can the house even do much?

Not anymore kiddo

At least Trump can blame everything on them

no i mean what is the job of the house?

i think they have budgetary powers

ah so they can stonewall the wall

Ironically the only people putting stones on the wall will be Democrats for the next 2 years.

They also vote on legislation, it goes to the house then they send it to the senate who change and vote on it. Then it goes back to the house to vote on the final bill
