There is an equally scary possibility here, too. In essence, the presumed civility of the Senate will disappear altogether, primarily in the form of whatever allowances there had been for the Senatorial filibuster. To be clear, that rule is still in place for lots of procedures. However, if the Democrats take back the Senate in 2018--and even if they don't, they are likely to wreak real destruction on the Republicans in 2020, that "restraint" is likely to be eliminated--and I'm not entirely certain that it shouldn't be removed, even though that "gentlemen's agreement" provision that protected, to a small extent, moderate, swing voters' wishes.
