It is an American political tradition that the sitting President's party is punished during these elections, with most tending to lose seats in Congress.



Winning the House would let the Democrats use process to tangle up regulatory changes, vote down legislation and open investigations into the president and his team. It would allow them to distract the administration from its policy agenda and would expose them to major legal risks.



But, from the department of unintended consequences, it just may be that in doing all of these things to undermine the president, the Democrats will end up making Trump's re-election case for him.



For the last two years, when it comes to national policy, the president has been the only show in town. With a Republican Senate, a Republican House, and Republicans holding a record number of governorships, the spotlight has been solely focused on the president's party, as has the criticism that comes with it.



While, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight.com, polls show around 50-53 per cent of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump, those same polls also show an unshakable core of roughly 40-42 per cent of Americans who approve of him.



That is no small number. Consider those results in a Canadian context: according to the CBC's comparable polling aggregator, in the last 10 polls, Justin Trudeau averaged approval of 40 per cent of Canadians, while 49 per cent disapproved of his performance — numbers that are, within the margin of error, the same as the president.



If the Democrats do indeed take the House, they will be able to hinder the implementation of Trump's agenda but they won't have been handed a silver bullet.



The president's base will be energized, his fundraising turbocharged and, crucially, the contrast of ideas that he needs to win will be set up.



It just might turn out that the moment the speaker's gavel is placed in Pelosi's hands may one day be known as the day that Trump ensured his re-election.

Fuck I am a fat prick.
