You're going to end up sorely disappointed, nat. just sayin'
Do you think 4 more years of this loose cannon will be a good thing for America? Businesses can keep going on not knowing what the ***** has in store for them,for the country?
I think people are going to look at the economy, I think people are going to look at unemployment, Ed.
I do believe that people as individuals are better off now than they were when Trump took office.
The Mueller investigation isn't in the top 16 issues people are concerned about. It's only an issue of
distraction for the democrat party. They are overplaying their hand and it's not helping.
I know, I know, it's the most important thing in the world to you, but, not mainstream America.
They're too busy with what affects their life. That's what I think, Ed.
I think part of the problem the Dems are having is that they've spent so much time diligently tearing down people's trust in every single institution and person in sight, and now they're reaping the rewards of their efforts as people refuse to be outraged over minutiae and hair-splitting.
Don't forget the Democrat media pushing the narrative with lies, misinformation, and pure hate for Trump. How many times we heard "collusion", "turning point", "beginning of the end", walls are closing in", based on nothing. And they're still not letting it go, trying to make impression that there is still something that we haven't heard, just enough to force Trump to resign, and if he doesn't they're going to impeach him. It's gonna bite them in the ass, and butthurt they're having now is child's play in comparison to what is coming.

But you know all this?
The Constitution vests certain
exclusive powers in the House of Representatives, including the right to initiate
impeachment proceedings and to originate revenue bills. The organization and character of the House of Representatives have evolved under the influence of
political parties, which provide a means of controlling proceedings and mobilizing the necessary majorities. Party leaders, such as the speaker of the House and the majority and minority leaders, play a central role in the operations of the institution. However, party
discipline (i.e., the tendency of all members of a
political party to vote in the same way) has not always been strong, owing to the fact that members, who must face reelection every two years, often vote the interests of their districts rather than their political party when the two diverge.
A further dominating element of House organization is the
committee system, under which the membership is divided into specialized groups for purposes such as holding hearings, preparing bills for the consideration of the entire House, and regulating House procedure. Each committee is chaired by a member of the majority party. Almost all bills are first referred to a committee, and ordinarily the full House cannot act on a bill until the committee has “reported” it for floor action. There are approximately 20 standing (permanent) committees, organized mainly around major policy areas, each having staffs, budgets, and subcommittees. They may hold hearings on questions of public interest, propose legislation that has not been formally introduced as a bill or resolution, and conduct investigations. Among important standing committees are those on appropriations, on ways and means (which handles matters related to finance), and on rules. There are also select and special committees, which are usually appointed for a specific project and for a limited period.
The committees also play an important role in the control exercised by Congress over governmental agencies.
Cabinet officers and other officials are frequently summoned before the committees to explain policy. The Constitution (Article I, section 6) prohibits members of Congress from holding offices in the
executive branch of government—a chief distinction between parliamentary and congressional forms of government.
After the census of 1920, Northeastern and Midwestern states held 270 House seats and the South and West held 169. Thereafter, the balance between the two regions gradually shifted: following the 2010 census, the Northeast and
Midwest accounted for only 172 seats, compared with the South and West’s 263. Most notably, the number of representatives from New York declined from 45 in the 1930s to only 27 in 2012, while the number from
California increased from 11 to 53.
