I actually believe the total opposite. There will probably be no opportunity to pass anything as long as this administration is in. These are my reasons for this:

1. Democrats will balk at anything this administration proposes that does not align with a progressive value

2. There is no reason for Democrats to tackle major legislation if there could be a possibl change in majority just a month away....why mess with that? They will have the belief they can get a better deal after elections

3. The Democrats message is to resonate with frustration. The center of that frustration is the current President, and the message is "Elect us to be a check and balance on the current administration!"

4. Democrats may not say it...but they will believe any new majority they are given they have an impetus to check the President's power....and if possible violations have accrued by their stands...even impeachment proceedings.

Bottom line, we are looking at another divided government...where partisanship is king. Major legislation technically cannot survive that unless there is reasonable balance.

Democrats (general statement) = Democratic leadership, ie. Schumer, Pelosi, Hoyer??

They are NOT progressives and have shown that they will not stand their ground and be the advocate for voiceless undocumented immigrants.
