The house is the only organization that can create law. trump can fill the judiciary with right wing appointee's, but neither he, nor the senate can create the laws that they would want to use that power with.
The house also has oversight, investigation and subpoena powers, something the senate does not hold.
and if House needs Senate consent for any defunding...
By sacrificing the house to keep the senate, he as put the ability to enforce (or ignore) law above the ability to create law.
what exactly have the Dems gained from this election aside from the ability to "paralyse" the administration (to some extent)?
They won the only battle they could actually win, and lost the battles they could not win by narrow margins in places they should have been spanked.
