who will control Congress a year from now, when the 115th Congress is sworn in?
Right now, Republicans control both the House and the Senate by significant margins. If Clinton or Sanders were to win, and the Republicans maintained a hammerlock on both chambers, how much of the new president’s agenda do you think would get through? If anything, Republicans detest Clinton as much, if not more, than Obama — we could be in for many more years of gridlock.

Even if a Republican were to win, Ted Cruz is despised in the Senate; Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has open contempt for him, and working with a President Cruz would be an awfully tough pill for him to swallow. As for Trump, who doesn’t seem to get that Congress is a separate but equal branch of government, he would learn that a CEO has more control over his ecosystem than a president has over his.

The whole power-sharing thing would be new to him and Trump would learn this the hard way — at the nation’s expense.
