Republicans win the House, NBC News projects, as Trump's party takes full control of Washington

President-elect Trump now has a clear path to enact his agenda and fill out his administration with both chambers of Congress in GOP hands come January.

I like how Trump yelled about never before seen levels of voter fraud in PA and not a single journalist is gonna follow up on that after he stopped complaining because he won. Shouldn’t we be asking what he knows?

Same way he got elected.

They control the media.

If he lost we'd be drowning in election fraud articles, lawsuits, investigations and "evidence".

Or lack thereof, after the cost of living skyrockets.

I fucking hate presidential republics - parliaments are so much more stable...

And all governments should be minority coalitions - majority governments are just bad fucking news.

Hopefully, the GOP has some Manchin wannabes to foul up the works.

The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

The UK has been in the grips of extremist conservativism for the past decade.

Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.
