so much for draining the swamp

You might be right regarding the House. But I think you expect a more "normal" two years ahead than I do.

I don't see why after two years of Trump the Senate will not change hands though. And I really don't see why Republicans would gain anything. With a Republican House, Senate and presidency, the coming tax, labor, education, treasury, defense and foreign policies--or inaction on said--are going to be closely identified with one party now.

 Either two years of rearranging the economy and foreign policy will produce a strong backlash. Or two years of failing to meet extravagant campaign promises will--embracing rather than draining the swamp--will do the same.
