Talk of Democrats winning the House (and maybe even the Senate), turns quickly to the question of what a divided Congress would mean for legislating and the odds that Democrats will call for President Trump’s impeachment. …
After watching him for the last year and a half, this unpredictable and unconventional president has now become more predictable and expectedly unconventional. He likes drama. He wants attention. Most important, he is 100 percent committed to his base at the expense of building bridges with anyone else. As such, the idea that he will — if confronted with a Democratic Congress — become the ‘deal maker’ he sold himself to be in 2016, is very unlikely. He likes a fight more than a compromise. Of course, even if he wanted to flip the script in 2019 and try to cut deals with Democrats, he has alienated any Democrat who was ever tempted (or felt pressured) to work with him. CONT.
