Finally the minority rule trifecta is broken with the flipping of the House.
Of course we will have to put up with minority rule in the Senate (looks as if 53% of the senate representing 44% of the population) and the White House whose current occupant received 45.9% of the vote!
The 52% of the governors who are Republicans will represent only 40% of the citizens while the 48% who are Democrats will represent 60% of our citizens. Still minority rule in the states but a lot better than before last Tuesday.
In 2020 I suspect the worm will turn still further assuming Dear Leader doesn't barricade himself in the Oval office and refuse to leave!

The United States is a republic of state’s. We are not a democracy. Have they stopped teaching that in public schools?
Founders well understood the dangers of mob rule.
But I am impressed with your math skills, A+

Yes, the UNITED States is a republic of states, but if the UNITED States is perpetually ruled by people given power by a minority of the citizens, I think a reasonable person would agree that the UNITED part is on weak grounds.
Interesting that so many posters believe having the people express themselves is ''mob'' rule unless they are agitating (see Browaed county) for something you also happen to want....then they become an enlightened electorate exercising their 1st amendment rights...better known as Republicans.
CRD, please explain why I will regret my post...has the 1st amendment been repealed...are you turning me in to the Trumpista Gestopo?

So idiot, tell us what your dimokrap socialist party hopes to accomplish now that you have the idiot PEE-losi back in control. Don't talk about the meaningless threats to Trump with the 85 harrassment filings, tell us what your idiots will ACCOMPLISH for the citizens of the USA. A list would be helpful.....

Take your meds...now. I was simply insinuating that your post there will call into question your continued credibility in this fun forum. I apologize if you took my words to imply some form of threat or First Amendment restriction on free speech. None was intended.

The top of the list is gun control. So they will waste time and millions of dollars passing it in the house only to die in the senate. In the meantime nothing gets done except by Executive Order, which is a good thing in some ways. Hopefully God Emporer Trump will send the millatary to build a southern wall.

Boy, the insertion of Mark Twain into this continuous needling is certainly going to have a "negative" affect on you. You will not have nearly as much time to research negative things to say about President Trump because of the amount of time you are having to spend researching Mark's quotes.

They won't spend 24/7 trying to replace Obamacare. The Right tried over 70 times and failed since 2010 to replace Obamacare without any plan. Pelosi doesn't have to do much to improve from the Ryan days.
And yes, they will be a check and balance with the Executive Branch which has been lackig the past 2 years. Trump probably wet his pants as he watched the results.
Will be entertaining to see his tax returns. He lied when he said he would show them to the American people. Now, the Democrats will help him fulfill his pledge to show them and he will no longer be a liar when it comes to his tax returns.

No research involved, that put down from Twain had come up as in internet online filler last night. Now, if you are a Twain fan, tell me honestly what you think Mr Clemens would have to say about our current president? Now be honest!

BHO refused to release his college transcript so Trump can refuse to release his tax returns. Both events happened pre-presidency so are irrelevant.

His transcripts would reveal that he was an Indonesian “foreign student.”
That would be either a non sequitur or a disqualifying fact.

The info ou referred to was first published in 2009....he enrolled as Obama not under his father's name.
- The article is datelined “April 1, 2009” and tagged “AP,” supposedly signifying it came from the Associated Press news agency. The date is a giveaway to the hoax (it’s April Fool’s Day), and the text of the article does not at all fit the standard Associated Press stylebook guidelines.
