tRump has no ideology. Hes not a D or an R. All he cares about is winning. Hes also about chaos.
So, if the Ds retake Congress, he will focus on winning, which means a huge sea change in the policies hell support. He will revert to his Im really quite liberal position. He will see that he can get a lot more done - and take credit for it - working with Schumer and Pelosi than he could with the feckless Rs. And, he would see his poll numbers rise considerably. It wasnt me they hated, it was McConnell and Ryan.
Hell, to avoid impeachment, he may decide to run as the DEMOCRATIC candidate in 2020.
Far fetched? Well, were well beyond far fetched, are we not?

(6,228 posts)trump just wants to win. He's more liberal than repubs think. He would work with the Dems so he could get wins. As far as trump running as a Dem, no way. We Dems are too knowing about trump.

(3,259 posts)I thought it was an area he was going to flounder more.
He has stuck very closely to the investor class and is holding their line. He is filling their pockets. It is an ideology. He is also proving to be more conservative than I thought. He has gutted regulations, agencies, and sent our budget backwards(something many conservative believe is necessary in order to take on spending). His appointments have been extreme conservatives and he is about to place his second right winger on the court.

(12,344 posts)He talks tough, but he is very submissive to people who have power over him. He will lick Pelosi's boots just because she can impeach him.
Renew Deal
(81,855 posts)Except the party switch. That wont happen and he couldnt win a primary. But the rest is right on. He wants to appear successful. He doesnt care what he signs.

(14,959 posts)If Dems control both houses of Congress, he's going to sign most of what they put in front of him. He will pointlessly, perhaps dangerously, arbitrarily veto some things just to seem like a tough guy.
Most of the time though he'll claim he got the best deal and the Dems caved to him like no other GOP POTUS ever.
The real tension will be between his desire for signing ceremonies and his aides whispering in his ear all the reasons he should veto something.
