Yes dude, but in 20 to 30 years from now the Republican party as we know it won't exists.

The same is true for the Democratic party, and I know that is a good thing in both instances.

I believe that the Democrats are going to take back the House during the mid-term elections this November, but they won't be able to take back the Senate mostly due to the map being very unfavorable to them. There are five Incumbent Democratic Senators up for reelection from states where Trump won by double digits. I think at least two of those Democratic Senators are going to lose their reelection bids. The Democrats are only going to be able to pick up two Senate seats. GOP Senator Heller of Nevada is very likely going to lose his reelection bid since Clinton won that state. And Democratic Congresswoman Sinema is likely going to win Arizona's open Senate seat. Arizona is turning purple here. Trump won Arizona by a lesser margin than he did Georgia and Ohio.

what?
I mean I agree about the senate but for a different reason... the 9 vulnerable Republican seats vs the 26 vulnerable democratic seats.
Add for the house, I don't see the Democrats flipping a net of 23 seats... not with how democratic incumbents are polling in narrow margins against Republicans.

but hey, we still got all summer for the Democrats to shoot themselves in the foot.... maybe they'll try to repeal something, because promises to repeal....
