Hillary Clinton used an election-eve appearance on ABC's The View on Monday to warn that if Democrats take control of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections, President Donald Trump will get "even more out of control" — "He's going to be cornered, angry, lashing out."
Clinton's argument was not that a Democratic Congress would calm Washington down. It was the opposite: she said a president who feels cornered by a hostile Congress becomes more dangerous, not less, and she pointed to the fights already building over certifying election results and the votes a new Congress would hold. Her warning to voters was to "buckle up" for what follows if her party wins.
The Trump side answers that Clinton's warning is itself the scare tactic. Republicans say a Democratic Congress would not govern — it would investigate: subpoenas, hearings and impeachment talk from day one, while the bills working families are waiting on stall. President Trump has already said he will veto what a Democratic Congress sends him, which is why his closing argument has been that divided government means gridlock, not accountability.
For voters deciding today, that is the real choice inside Clinton's warning: a Congress built to fight the president, with the investigations and stalemates that follow, or a Congress that keeps passing his agenda on taxes, energy and the border. Either way, Tuesday's result decides how much of what reaches a household budget over the next two years gets signed — and how much gets fought over instead.
