I've gotta say that Trump has done wonders for CNN, it's actually worth watching these days, since they got into the"fake news" business, it's gotten interesting, same for much other news media. FOX news seems to have gone completely off the deep end since the era of Trump, thought the news people are trying, Hannity is as usual, a treasonous cocksucker, Lou Dobbs lost his mind. The average FOXNEWS viewing age is 72, about the same as Trump so they are dying off in a hurry, also their viewership has dropped lately. The regular "fake news" seems more real than ever and the folks reading the news and talking heads are as concerned as anyone with a brain.
Trump is a bit like the pied piper leading all the rats off the cliff, as he blows out a tune on the dog whistle. I think the GOP is finished for a generation young people are turned off in droves. Getting rid of the current "base" is gonna be as difficult as recruiting moderates, post Trump will find the GOP a husk of its former self. Trumpism is really nothing and will evaporate into thin air, just like nazism, both are based on egotism and hate. I think Trump unintentionally moved the country to the left quicker than anything else could and pot will probably be legalised federally sooner too.
After the midterms, I"m pretty sure the democrats will turn Pence into an auto pen if he can stay outta Trump shit and finish the term. If he's reasonable he'll stay, one impeachment and conviction is enough for folks, but the threat will remain and the dems will own the hill bigly. Maybe they will get him to sign an abortion rights bill, or pot legalisation legislation and top it off with the Pence gay marriage protection act, "the man from Glad" should love that. One thing is for sure, nobody is gonna pardon Trump, the first loser is gonna go to a supermax, prisoner 00001. I'd even go for painting the cell gold, give the fucker a real gilded cage!
