There's nothing like a thrashing defeat to get people organized! My guess is that the honeymoon with Trump will be short-lived. For starters, there are some tapes floating-around with unedited scenes from The Apprentice show that likely have The Donald saying the N-word. Likely, those will surface in the next 12 months. But before then, a number of Republican moderates will hold-on to Obamacare, as The Donald's cronies will try to repeal it, only to find-out (as they already know) that there is nothing to replace it with, except, of course, to line the pockets of the insurance industry even more. Finally, the sleeping giant, the AARP, will get involved, and 2 years from now, the House will flip to Democrat rule with the Democrats gaining a seat or two in the Senate. Another four years of stalemates will produce a slightly more conservative judiciary and a more moderate Democratic candidate. In four years, Trump will have been on his way out, a 1-term President, even less respectable than Jimmy Carter. In the end, he won't be able to deliver on any of his "promises".
