BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has hailed "tremendous success" in the mid-term elections after a night of mixed results for his Republican party...The Republicans are on course to increase their representation from 51 to 54 in the 100-seat Senate upper chamber. "
Lets Get Real:
The President was as combative as ever, having a go at the liberal press, that will go down well with the Republican base. The base will be overjoyed that the Republicans have kept the Senate, they can carry on to appoint Conservative Judges, and could get another Supreme Court pick. The Attorney General Jeff Sessions has already gotten the CHOP, then POTUS will pick a AG who will do as he is told when it comes to the Special Prosecutor. The President can be expected to move to foreign policy in his last two years of the first term, the Democrats will block his domestic agenda, on the international front the Oval Office has more power. On the Democratic side it will be interesting to see how new Speaker Pelosi deals with the fact that her hard liberal base will want to impeach Trump while those just elected will be looking at 2020, they will want to show that they have done something for two years, just going after Trump will not cut it in moderate States. Thus we shall see how good a deal maker POTUS is when faced with a divided government.
