on the head. In two sentences, you summed this up perfectly.

It's curious that Trump is in such a hurry to change the subject of public discussion now. I suppose that when the best day of his presidency comes as a result of his not being indicted, he has good reason to shift to medical insurance. While our party has a large advantage in public support, the insurance & drug industry favors axing "Obama Care."

Between that, the tax cuts for the opulently wealthy, and cutting of environmental protection regulations, the corporate world isn't anti-Trump. And that is a huge factor that I don't see being discussed on DU in a meaningful way. Indeed, it is only when we consider the distinction between the concepts of "deep state" versus "shadow government" -- and they are not the same -- than we can actually identify why Trump is still in office, why republicans in Congress defend him (besides fear of being primarie), and the true nature of the upcoming 2020 elections.
