With an approval rating even lower than the president's, it will b interesting to see what the career politicians can come up with in 2018. And, how much the president can prod them into doing. Here are the headlines:
1. How long does it take Congress to clean up from 2017?
2. What does an even smaller Senate majority mean for Republicans?
3. What—if anything—can Congress get done in 2018? At present, Republicans have scheduled more time for members in Washington than in 2017, which suggests that leaders at least intend to take on an agenda in 2018.
4. What will the 2018 midterms bring?
I'm torn about #3. In many ways, the LESS Congress does, the better off we all may be.
