No, midterms aren't for that. It just shows that people are voting against his party now basically. Midterms are for seats for the house of representatives and the Senate xx

The best way I can compare it to here is that he is now in charge of a hung parliament

He's made gains in the Senate - he'll focus on that.

He'll curtail the power of the House so it doesn't matter he hasn't got control (or continually whine that they won't pass his legislation).

And he's still thanking people and saying he did well.

So, do they rip the wall down? And change/stop other things he's wanted to do?

I'm not the sharpest at politics, never mind American ones

But isn't it the case that the incumbents take a kicking as they do in this country during the council elections?

Two different political systems for sure, but similar positions in terms of the payback for disenchanted voters. The opposition nearly always do better, iirc.

Yes, even with a "popular" president like Obama, they like to give the incumbent a kicking. It was why he couldn't get the majority of his legislation through.

We will most probably see more Executive Orders as he forces things through that way.

Makes a huge difference, flipping the house. Looking forward to Mueller, She Wrote next week.

I'd suggest reasonably, assuming he gets there. Mueller though.

I thought the whole point of Executive Orders was that he bypasses the system?

Some. If. Might.

It's best to work from what's actually known.

As stupid as he is, as well as his narcissism, he knows he's rumbled. As others say, he can now blame his failures - and will - on the democrats.

It's harder for the Dems to gain anything there as the Republicans have made many changes that mean they can win seats etc with fewer votes now. Hoping he's a one hit 'wonder'

Unlikely, ridiculous as that sounds. You only have to read The Art of the Deal to see why he's mentally incapable of statemanship.

He even managed to lose money on casinos. Amazing really.
