What Happens when the radical wing of the Ds take power in 2020?

Yes there will be a Trump landslide courtesy of the Ds but I'm more concerned about the effective political vacuum that will result. What do you think will happen?

Some might argue with this impeachment, it's already happened.

Why would there be a political vacuum?
In 2020, Trump wins, the GOP takes back the House, and the GOP keeps the senate but with less than 60 votes.
So Chuck Schumer can stop all new legislation with a filibuster.
Is gridlock a good thing or a bad thing?
Hopefully they can agree on a few good things in the next 5-years.

You do have company in that opinion.

Not my opinion per se. I do think Pelosi gave in to the far left within her party though, even as she knew it would hurt them.

I swear, I remember seeing Pelosis reaction right after Trump released the transcript (she refused to take questions from the podium) and it looked like she had just seen a ghost. It probably dawned on her right then that 1. the call wasn't impeachable, certainly not be prior impeachment standards, and, 2. she was hurting Bidens campaign (she might even be wondering, as I was, if that was some of the far lefts objective).
