One dynamic that you are likely to see over the next two years that you did not see over the last two: Senate Republicans who are up in 2020 are likely to challenge Trump more and distance themselves - to varying degrees - from him as his power declines further

Trump’s power will be further weakened in 2019 as NY investigators and the special counsel continue to probe him, and House Democrats launch a series of investigations; a slowing economy won’t help either: Fed predicts 2.5% growth in 2019 and 2.0% in 2020
Presidential power wanes in many ways; Hoover (‘31-‘32), Johnson (‘68), Carter (‘79-‘80) are all different case studies; Trump’s growing weaknesses and vulnerabilities are quite unusual to say the least, and may become more apparent to some on the edges of his base
