Please remember that Mike Pence is way worse than Trump.

Yeah, if you're a woman.

Or some other gender, or non-hetero, or non-Christian, etc...

Not that I'm disagreeing. Trump is just bad for absolutely everyone, unless he basically does nothing as President.

Which in turn would leave the country to the loving and caring hands of the current Republican party.

Guys, let's be happy if the fully GOP-controlled House and Senate won't let him stay for a 3rd and 4th term.

1 He's 70 years old.
2 They'd need a consitutional amendment. 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states.

Better get to work on the voter suppression mechanisms then to ensure that becomes feasible.

He has sat immobile, his body slowly crumbling, within the Golden Toilet of Trump Tower for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, His shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the Golden Toilet and a potent mind itself sustained by the daily sending of thousands of tweets.

After 2018 they should be mostly, if not entirely, there.

Yeah, it's a distinct possibility.

What is comical are the lefties I've come across who advocate a constitutional convention to implement voter reforms, universal income, and basically make the US solidly progressive by means of changing the constitution to match their agenda. I'm not sure how they imagine that'll happen with the GOP being in the driver's seat.

You think the GOP won't lose seats in '18? That would go against very strong historical precedent.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

After gaining the chancellory, in the following election the national socialists dramatically increased their seat number.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I'm much less worried about that today than I was two months ago. Trump just seems so incompetent and distanced from actual government. Maybe he's just lulling us into a false state of security.

Districts don't get redrawn until after the census in '20.  Red will stay red.

It seems that most of the seats realistically in contention are held by Democrats.

I have read that about the Senate, but not the House.

That could be the case... I mainly remember a narrative that 2018 favours the GOP in terms of seats up, but I don't recall the details.
