The House wasn't the target that Trump wanted. The SENATE was. The Senate is way more important in the terms of checks and balances to keep secure than the House. The Democrats have held a stronghold in the Senate for a long time, and Trump wrecked it. If losing a branch of control was the Democrats' nightmare, Trump accomplished it with a whimper instead of a bang. And when are the Democrats ever going to tell the truth about losing or being pushed into a corner? They hold up moving up the stairs an inch as a great victory, to get the public to believe it more.
The whole idea behind the way that government was structured BEFORE Obama was that each branch was capable of keeping the other branches from going off the rails and doing things in the detriment of the American people. Trump's first goal was to bring that control back. And he succeeded. The rest is just icing surrounding a cake. No one cares about the icing, everyone wants cake.
