Republicans win control of the US House of Representatives
 
(NewsNation) —The Republicans have won control of the U.S. House of Representatives after the party took 218 seats in national elections, according to a Decision Desk HQ projection on NewsNation.

All 435 House seats were up for reelection leaving the chamber’s balance of power up for grabs. House members are elected to two-year terms.
 
Going into the election, the GOP had a narrow majority in the House with 220 seats over the Democrats, who held 212, and three seats vacant prior to Tuesday’s election. 

In taking the House, Republicans have solidified total control of Congress and the White House, which will create a smoother path for the GOP to lay down its platform.

Now they need to do something since they control all three branches of government.  We know they can complain and criticize with the elites, but can they rule?  The first thing they need to do is marginalize Mitch McConnell, turn him into nothing but a vote.  Then do the same with all the other rinos.  Then they need to COMMUNICATE with each other.  Then become a team.  As Bo Schembechler used to say, there are no heroes, no stars, no individuals, there is the team, the team, the team. :grouphug:

This will stop the impeachment garbage.

Otherwise most of the work to be done is internally in the Executive branch and the States and not so much Congress.
The Republic is lost.

As long as the GOP can keep their majority in the House all should be ok.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
