Taking the Senate would allow us to block any nominees.

Taking the House will allow us to stop his raids on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, etc. and will allow investigations and subpoenas to be issued to stop the villainy of this administration and stop any more tax cuts that destroy our economy. It will not stop him packing the courts with unqualified racists & oligarch ideologues and will allow him to fire Sessions and install someone else to fire Mueller. If we could somehow take the Senate, we'd stop him dead in his tracks until Mueller could provide the stark evidence of him being a traitor and get him out of office and in jail. I trust NY to take away his assets because those were fraudulently gained as well. There is nothing at all real about him except his greed and hate.
