It is worth noting

That although the house as gone back to the democrats. Its slightly worrying that most these democrats were voted in purely on the basis to stick it to trump without providing any sort of policy's other than to oppose the GOP.

Next two years will be tough for mr trump but God help the democrats if they do win in 2020 because as it stands they have nothing. Where as flawed as trump and the GOP are, they at least seem to be improving the country.
