Trump Has the Democrats Right Where He Wants Them

Talk about a thumping. After months of struggling to overcome brutal political fundamentals, most Republicans awoke Wednesday to the fresh pain of getting kicked to the curb by the American people, along with a fat dollop of dread about what comes next.

But not President Trump. I suspect he greeted the morning with a tingle of anticipation, if not outright excitement, for what lies ahead: two years of nonstop, bare-knuckle brawling with a Democratic-controlled House and Senate. In other words, Mr. Trump's idea of heaven.
