WHAT NEXT?

Let's say that conventional wisdom holds and the Dems take control of the House and the Republicans keep control of the Senate what do the next two years look like. Will there be total gridlock or will the two Chambers and the two Parties be forced to work together?

Will Trump continue to divide?

Your guess is as good as anyone's so please take a guess.


Obamacare repeal would be off the table. Maybe actual fixes could be discussed. 

Sensible immigration legislation possible. 



Actual congressional oversight with subpoena power.


GRIDLOCK, GRIDlock and more gridlock.




 Mitch ain't gonna do nothin' that will look like an accomplishment to Democrats.

Don't need to be Nostradamus to predict this. 


In this case gridlock is more like check mate.  He will rave and rant how the Dems are impeding progress.  Let him and his xenophobic followers build a wall on their own dime.  Watch Obama care,

watch Medicare and Social Security stand as monuments to those who care.   And may his golf cart break down at the farthest point from the club house.

 You taught me a new curse. I learn something every day on MOL.

 Let's not get ahead of ourselves.


Can we get back to you at the end of the week on this?  I mean, after the dust settles and all the results are finalized and all that.


Let's see if everyone even gets to vote first.  Lots of reports of broken scanners, emergency ballot boxes, machines not working. FB is on fire today.


I wouldn't trust Facebook for facts as far as I can spit.

As long as Mitch is their leader, nothing good will come of it.  When has he ever compromised on anything if he could get away with obstruction?
