CNN: Russia gloomy on US relations after Democrats take House in midterms
The Russian government has sent a message of pessimism on its relations with the United States after the Democrats seized control of the powerful House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections.
Results show the Democrats with a House majority, in a shakeup that could stymie President Donald Trump's legislative agenda.
With control of the House, the Democrats could ramp up a probe into the possibility Trump's election campaign team colluded with the Russian government to win the White House in the 2016 election, which Trump denies.
"It's fair to suggest with a high degree of confidence there are no glowing prospects in terms of normalization of US-Russian relations on the horizon," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday, when asked to comment on the Democrats' gains in the House.

WNU Editor: The Kremlin is right on this one. With Democrats in charge of the House, ties will not improve between Russia and the U.S.. In fact .... I actually see the opposite. With Democrats already talking about ramping up hearings and investigations on Russian collusion, I expect everything that is Russian becoming even more toxic in Washington.

Trump should invite Putin to the WH. Then bring in Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler and Schumer for a nice quiet dinner.
And the Maxine Waters idiot as well.
Yep. Put these attention craving things on the spot. Have the cameras and the mikes on. Let the taxpayers experience what they get for their millions. If they chew with their mouth open and try to talk at the same time, zoom in.
