That will just be a buying opportunity for the fat bastard club and an opportunity to implement marshall law to control the outrage of the peons.

Fewer jobs/hiring, increased layoffs and closures, less demand for business supplies/goods, etc. I don't really want that to happen to the good people who work hard out there. But that will get the right's attention especially before the 2018 election.

Ryan and McConnell will need to feel their own careers and agendas are at risk.

Until that happens, nothing will happen. Nothing.

Next option is the midterms, but with everything the Republicans have done to rig the system, we can't put all of our eggs in that basket. Might happen, might not happen. And if McConnell and Ryan remain in charge of a Republican House and Senate until 2020, the next option is a Democratic President, which means a repeat of McConnell's vow to make that person a "one-term President," unless the Senate and House fall as well.
