Political Junkie

In a little more than a month, the Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives for the first time since losing the chamber in the Tea Party wave of 2010.   As I have explained before, fifty years of third-world immigration, court-ordered redistricting, and a large number of Republican retirements contributed to the Democratic victory.   Shortly after many news outlets predicted that Democrats would retake control of the House of Representatives, current House Minority Leader and presumptive Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi gave a speech where she sung the praises of bipartisanship.   President Trump also sounded surprisingly optimistic at a press conference he held the day after the midterms, where he said that he would work with Democrats but said that he would take bipartisanship off the table if the Democrats decide to use their new House majority to launch endless investigations into every aspect of the Trump Presidency; promising a “war-like po...
