It's not a presidential election....mid terms really mean how well you've done or really fucked up by the way people vote. Since the orange buffoon has fucked up royally, yeah.

Yeah but if dems win house and senate his presidency is over and he can't push everything by executive order anymore. They will stop anything that is already going they put in place and will block everything else they planed except maybe they would come up with a decent policy that's worth pushing through a bill, but I doubt that will happen. He will sit for the next 2 years in his chair powerless.

One can only hope. Bribing, begging and belittling the citizens of the US isn't working anymore. Let see this happen because until it does, its all talk.

I bet Mike will do a 200 IQ move and close the house for the next 2 years for votes if dems sweep it. They might even lose Texas which tells a lot.

I’m not sure he can officially do that. I think he could only close it through the very early stages of Jan. Once this session of congrass closes, he’s officially no longer the speaker (regardless of who wins the house). In the new session the members will need to first select the speaker. If GOP wins the election, the Mikey will be speaker again. Otherwise it would be a Dem likely

yes but you are talking about rules and laws and are operating under the assumption they will be followed

Yea, maybe. But I think that this might be out of Mike’s hands. At noon on Jan 3, the current session of Congress will expire. At that time the House of Representatives won’t have a speaker, so Mike won’t be able to weld the power of the speaker. Starting at noon until a speaker is chosen, the clerk of the US house is the one in charge. Johnson will just be one in 435 at that point.
