As anxious and stressed as I am, today, it's probably nothing compared to what trump* is feeling

I don't even want to try and imagine what the atmosphere is like in the White House. I'm just hoping he's doing some big time, major stress eating.

it reflects on him, he probably doesn't have any feeling at all for the problems and victories of Republican candidates. I remember Priebus's observation that he's incapable of feeling pity or kindness.

And the Republican caucuses matter only as he sees them as extensions of his power. I'm guessing that, if he needed, he could probably give up his dreams of murderous dictator glories fairly easily, as long as enough trumpsters stayed loyal that he could spend the next 2 years doing rallies before cheering crowds.

If we get a majority in the house, we should be in a position to arrange a deal, a wall (and therefore continued delusion for his crowds) for him in return for...

or the GOP voters' concerns. He is a narcissistic sociopath and a sadist so he is probably planning how to get even and hurt those who voted against him.

Will totally get under his skin and more than that, he also knows Dems will start all kinds of investigations. His staying in power may depend on what happens today.
