Well, the house explicitly has financial powers, and they can impeach officials. If the house was republican and the senate was democratic, you would see much more financing for projects Trump wanted. Like, just to make up the most ridiculous example we could think of, a giant wall...

Unless I am out of date with my civics knowledge, the House may have a bit of financial power, but legislation still has to pass through the Senate.
The upside of being the anti-government party is that you don't have to worry about being judged by how well you govern. It's a much easier position.
