      As with the last congress, the new one will have very slim margin and Johnson will need Democrats to get anything done.

        I believe we will find, that with no firewalls, and no checks to Trump unmitigated threat of revenge, we will see any Republicans stand up to him again. You’re thinking in terms of present day back to 2016 when Trump’s win was a surprise, and he didn’t know where the buttons on the dash were yet. It’s 8 years later, and he’s got a team assembled for raw power, and vengeance. Let’s meet back here in 12 months and discuss the amount of times Republicans were thwarted in their majorities, I’m pretty sure it’s going we’re going to have zero examples of “Johnson needing Democrats” for anything at all

          We shall see, but I’ve seen congressional Republicans described in two groups. Maga and hate maga. All it takes is three or so. Trump has already lost power in the Senate with the refusal to recess and Gaetz, and it’s more than a couple of months before he’s sworn in.
