So Dems keep control of the Senate, and the House may end up 1 or 2 votes down (or up). If this isn’t a repudiation of Trumpism — its belligerence, bigotry, nastiness, and election-denying dangerousness — I don’t know what is.

@rbreich Exactly so. A shift, albeit late, towards rationality.

@rbreich And yet people are still talking about the prospect of Trump becoming Speaker.

@rbreich -- I agree, but I'm very afraid of the likes of Kari Lake and Ron DeSantis, who are even more dangerous because they're both more polished and can fool a lot more people. Lake, in particular, has charisma and knows how to play the camera. DeSantis not so much; as far as I'm concerned , he's just a weak DT wannabe.

I don't think we'll get rid of "trumpism" simply by getting rid of DT. Trumpism is the essence of the current Rep Party,

Hope I'm wrong

@rbreich If the GOP is going to win with only two seats, it is going to be impossible to pass any legislation without the Democrats helping. It will be interesting to watch!

@pyager @rbreich By the same token, it’ll be impossible to pass any legislation, including raising the debt ceiling, without Republicans helping.
