Trump singlehandidly kept the entire election from becoming a Republican nightmare. For only the 3rd time in
100 years a sitting presidents party actually won seats in the senate & he campaign his ass off in order to
make that happen.
Those he heavily campaigned for were:
1) Bruan who defeated Donnelly after lagging in the liberal media polls all year.
2) Josh Hawley defeated Senator Claire McCaskill by 6 points after only leading
by less than 1 point according to the polling.
3) Kevin Cramer trounced Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota by nearly 11 points.
4) In Florida Governor Rick Scott Senator defeated Bill Nelson by 12,000 votes 5) He was down to Tennessee many times helping Marsha Blackburn to a resounding
come from behind victory
So he'll have 53 seats instead of 51 and the 51 included the likes of McCain, Flake & Corker
unreliable to the core & often Trump critics, so in reality he'll have 53 reliable supporters instead of
48.
A blue wave was in the cards but Trump prevented it big time. With so many house members retiring
he paid almost no attention to helping there and though some hoped Paul Ryan would help the effort
to retain the house, relying on Ryan is about as likely as relying on posters such as you to make a sensible post.
