Gridlock

Well...it was predicted.  When the Dems won the midterm elections and took over the House of Representatives, it was predicted that Trump would be beseiged by investigations and the Dems would exhibit rightous indignation.  Well...here we are.  I saw a list of committees opening investigations and it's a bit daunting.  I hope the White House lawyers are on top of their game, becauwe it's gonna get ugly.  Of course, as usual Trump doesn't give a shit.  He goes to CPAC and gives a two hour extemporaneous speech in which he gives as good as he gets.  That's fine, but at some point we're all going to be (if we're not already) exhausted.  But if the first couple of months of the new Congress are any indication, it's gonna be a long two years.

But here's the crazy thing.  I don't see anyone who can beat him.  The frontrunners for the Dems are Biden who is 77 years old and has been on the wrong side of every National Security issue his whole career.  And there's Bernie who is 76 years old and a Socialist.  Then there is a list of Senators (why they think they are qualified for an executive position is beyond me) who are nothing but political beasts who stick their thumb in the wind and respond in whatever way they think will give them more votes.  They are idiotically tacking to the left when no matter what anyone says, we are a center-right country.  They cannot win with a leftest ideology.  But hey, let them know themselves out.  And then throw in the independent Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks.  He's going to be a giant pain in the ass to the Dems.  Maybe bigger than Ross Perot was to GHWB.  So given all that, unless something pretty dramatic happens, I think it's Trump again.  For four more years.  Man, that would be the equivalent of shoving a hot rod up the Dems ass and twisting.  But it is what it is.  And it will be semi-fun to watch.
