Yes, Democrats have won the House but behind Pelosi's soaring rhetoric is THIS harsh political reality​

Beyond Pelosi’s soaring rhetoric is a harsh political reality: the power to shape the country no longer rests in the House. Instead, the waning influence of America’s legislature is concentrated in the Senate. And unless Democrats can take back the upper chamber, Tuesday’s victory is nothing but political fool’s gold... Most Americans know how Washington, D.C. is supposed to work, with the House and Senate drafting compromise legislation to fix the nation’s troubles while the president signs or vetoes the bills accordingly. But a recent study shows that things aren’t going as the Founding Fathers had planned. No longer are the House and Senate serving their intended functions of drafting new laws, declaring war, and serving as a check on the presidency... The deeply divided legislative branch has delegated its powers to the executive – specifically to the president and his many executive orders. It’s a pattern that started with President Barack Obama and has continued under President Donald Trump... But that heavy-handed governing has led to an unending stream of lawsuits from opposing states and activist groups. That means the federal judiciary has more frequently stepped in to decide the nation’s future on the most divisive issues like abortion, immigration, and affirmative action... So let Pelosi and her fellow Democrats celebrate their House victory. Their joy will almost certainly be short-lived. Trump and Senate Republicans will soon return to the upper chamber and continue to shape the judiciary – and with it, the very fabric of American life.

President Trump showed Democrats today that while they may have won the House, it is a pyrrhic win as he is still president and owns the news cycle. No celebrating lap for them. Besides, holding the Senate is far more important, both as check and to approve Trump’s appointments, treaties, etc.
Trump is sitting pretty. If the House doesn't send Trump the budget he wants, he won't sign it, and it's now the Democrat's fault. Health care? The Dems. Immigration? The Dems....
We have also seen the reactions of Schumer, Holder, Brennan and others to the resignation of Sessions today along with the appointment of Acting AG Whittaker. The wheels may be falling off the Democrat wagon and it will be all over before January comes around.
Our Founding Fathers never planned on a bunch of political idiots writing thousands of laws every year based on frivolous BS, funneling money into their own pockets and destroying this country from within but it’s happening.

Doesn't matter. The House Dems don't care about doing their legislative duty. All they care about is "get Trump".

You're right. Between now and January 2019 Whittaker is going to be working hard and a lot of DOJ , FBI and other agency information will be declassified exposing the Progressive Marxist Socialist cabal against America.
 
To get a feel for the road ahead in 2019 for TeamChump, You might want to bone up on the Watergate Scandal.

No matter how much you ignore Chump's obvious efforts to obstruct justice, Team Mueller has TeamChump's number. Expect Chump to do a lot of public whining.

You're right, and I don't think Hillary has skated free yet.
