I placed this in Partisan Politics because I want to take a partisan politically view of the Trump scandals for the purposes of the 2018 elections.
I would very much like to see some balance restored to our system of checks and balances by having the Democrats retake the House. Because of the numbers involved, the Senate seems out overreach next cycle. But the House is very doable if we can't wave election.
Trump and all his scandals and incompetence and lies could well be the motivation for such a wave election. But with the lightning speed of the last week and a new major revelation coming almost on a daily basis, I wonder if this thing will peak far too soon and Trump will be gone with the wind before mid 2018 arrives? If he is toast by then, a President Pence could get a public support boost as the nation unites behind him - more or less - enough to keep the GOP control of the House.
Maybe the best thing is for the Congressional investigations to slow down, take a back seat to the Special Counsel inquiry and let it all simmer on low for a year and then heat up next summer and early fall.
