7. If things go well in 2018

we won't get the control until 2019, so I have to ask you to reconsider your OP.

Second, I have a feeling that there will be greater polarization (yes, I really believe that's possible) in the Congress. Trump will finance primary campaigns against GOP'ers who have not bowed sufficiently to him, and some of those challengers will be successful, and some of them will be in districts that cannot elect a Democratic representative, at least not until after the 2020 Census.

Clearly, we will try to elect people who are dead set in opposing the Trump agenda, even more so than the Democratic members we have now. It will probably mean another two years of even more acrimonious deadlock, but that's what it takes to get through to the 2020 election, when we hopefully have a presidential candidate who can win a majority of Electoral College votes.
