More Gridlock Ahead


August 21, 2018 at 7:14 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Charlie Cook: “Anything short of a Democratic gain of 60 or more seats means that it would a real challenge for House Democrats to get much out of the chamber (a 60-plus seat gain for Democrats is possible, but very unlikely given current congressional-district boundaries and natural-population patterns).”

“The reality is that no party is going to exceed 53 or 54 seats, making for a tough legislative sled given the rules and practices of the Senate.”

it's Donnie Short Fingers misadministration

and I don't want to fucking hear about how much "harm" a "gubmint shutdown" would do. That harm pales in comparison to the harm being done by these ass-hatted dickheads in the Retrumplican Party.
