A Trump win will mean little if he loses the Senate ...

while failing to recapture the House. That would give us two years,
maybe four of frustration. Even Trump may not be able to rescue
the economy when, not if, the democrats throw up roadblocks against
everything constructive he tries to do. He will have to resort to the shaky
expedient of the Executive order which will be challenged eight seconds
after he issues it. The Trump derangement syndrome will dictate the
democrat agenda just as it did during the last four years. But, I suppose
if the people vote for that then it must mean that is what they want. Then
that is exactly what they'll get and if so, then I hope they enjoy the result.
It may not happen that way but we should never underestimate the
gullibility of the voting public which often naively believes the promises
of the latest mountebank that comes along. This particular mountebank
being a little shy of having a full deck.

Maybe he should ask the people like Regan did just before the second election that if they elected him to give him a Senate and a house he could work with to move the country forward. And the people did. Senate and house turned Republican for him.

Good Idea.

He will need real Republicans though, not the swamp RINO's he had before.

Purity test, whereas the other side is assembling as broad a coalition as they can.

Reagan had a pretty broad coalition and it had a lot of overlap. There were the Reagan Democrats. Reagan courted them astutely, one Democratic Congressman said during the Carter Administration he wasn't invited to the White House once, during Reagan's first year he was invited three times. I recall a news photo of Tip O'Neill leaving the White House with the glum expression of a career politician used to getting his own way who's just suffered another defeat because many in his own party won't back him.
The other side is assembling a broad coalition but I suspect it will have a lot of groups who really have little in common.
