It would be a rare occurrence if the GOP were to retain its present number of seats in both chambers. The ruling party loses seats in the midterms. To actually gain ground? That would astonish me.
I wonder how much governing will be done in 2018. Too many bought and paid for suits trying to distance themselves from Trump to bother exercising their majority.
Exactly. Whether you're a congressman in the majority or the minority party, you are still a congressman. Heck, it's probably easier being in the minority. People don't expect much.
