19. I don't think it was foxnews or limbaugh as much as its the only play trump has, after the caravan

hysteria which might have saved the senate for the GOP, not much else trump can do with his power against the democratic House which will be coming for him, his family and his crooked admin. Same mentality of trump who began bashing the FBI, the CIA and the DOJ a year BEFORE the 2016 election.

My crystal ball hows me the untentional consequence of trump's actions will be making GOP WORK with democrats to reopen the govt OVER trumps veto.. The magic number to override a veto in the senate? 67 votes. The senate votes to convict impeachment? 67 votes.

If my prognosis plays out under worse case scenario for trump, he is giving GOP cover to rid america of him.

Goes back to market response of a crashing govt
Goes back to market response to SS and Medicare being cutoff

Goes back to wealthy's patience to exposure of markets crashing
Goes back to wealthy GOP donors.

If worse case happens, we may have a light at the end of the tunnel
