Re: When is Enough ,Enough?
Quote:
The Republicans have a net gain in the Senate of 4 seats, giving them 55 total The Democrats have a net gain of 28 seats in the House, giving 221 total. This is my prediction, but also my preferred outcome. I firmly believe that a win of the house will give the democratic base a steam release valve. They will vote to impeach trump, that will die in the Senate. The house will hold hearings ad nauseam, and Trump will decry every one of them. BUT Trump will work with the House and Senate, and they will find compromise positions that won't get destroyed by the far right side of the aisle, and the far left side will be getting it's raw meat in the form of the impeachment hearings. My basis for this thought is that during the Kavanaugh hearings, even as the hard left/right bases were frothing at the mouth, several budget bills, and other bills passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. When one side has all the branches, the other side is forced into unwieldy opposition, and that is what we have seen several times in the past. |
