[quote=Anonymous]The problem at this point is that top position.  If not Trump, it's Vance and if not Vance, it's still GOP.  You also have to get a majority of Dems and the "right" Dems at that.  Manchin was a Dem, look how well that worked out.

On the economic front, prices have been rising awhile now.  Whenever I hear those reports about how we're all holding steady, I want to bop someone.  We are upper middle class and taking my family of 5 out for $95 non fancy dinners without drinks for anyone - just entree + tax/tip + water is really not something I call doing well.  So if the prices go up, it's about how much more and where you see those prices rise v. just rising.  I think everyone has that expectation of rising these days.

At $95 a dinner- I'm not going to flip out if it rises to $100/110 - I kinda expect things will continue to rise with time and I'm not exactly doing math at every meal - at a certain price point, I'm just annoyed.  I'm not suggesting I approve of what Trump's doing or want/like thing to go up but I'm suggesting that you have to look at the big picture of where we are in 2026.  It's the economy but it's also psychological.

I tend to agree that he will have destroyed any good thing we've got going by then but 1, I'm not sure who can take his place who will do better and 2, I'm unsure what the big pic looks like that he will lose enough political power that even if the the Dems gain seats, it works to limit his overall abilities.

I sincerely believe however that he will not be able to create the intense drama of the past 3 weeks moving forward to 2026 if simply he will have run out of things to impact on this level!  He has only 4 years, let's face it.  Even if he stays (which I'm 95% sure he won't get to) in office past that, his age and energy level will be that he can't do too much more.

Musk will tire of running the govt.  I am 100000% of this.  It's a matter of time.  I think by 2026 he's def done :)  It's fun plotting right now and starting a checklist, to actually get things done, he will hate the red tape of having to deal with the courts and what's left of Congress.

Vance is who I'm much more worried about from a cultural perspective.[/quote]
