17. All our passed legislation in the House will die in the Senate, McTurtle says NO Democratic bills

will ever get a vote.

If we do not take back the Senate, we are fucked, even if we retain the House and re-take the POTUS.

Only way a Democratic POTUS will get anything (that the Rethugs are against) done would seem to be by Executive Order. That in itself is very problematic. If we win the POTUS but the Rethugs re-take the House in 2020 or 2022, and keep the Senate in both, I predict they MAY (not saying they WILL) go for Impeachment at the first truly possible moment (say an Executive Order that make Rethug's head explode). Then again they just may sit back and simply block shit for 4 straight years. As long as they (the Rethugs) have control of the Senate, we will never again see a Dem-nominated SCOTUS justice approved (not even a vote probably) unless our POTUS picks one that is hardcore RW (which will not happen). I think that stance by them will survive a new Majority Leader when McTurtle dies, retires, or looses an election. Majority leader Cotton...eeeeek . Or even worse, POTUS Cotton
