Trump ran on what is been called a populist message. Since the tax cut seems to favor corporations, and since this has somehow united the GOP, could it be that Trump is now fully captured by the very people that he ran against?
I'm not so sure. Trump did say that he would not campaign for insurgents. But most of the insurgents have already shot their wad, so to speak. For him to say that really doesn't say much.
Still, Trump seems to have united the GOP, and is pushing for peace within the caucus. As long as he can do this, he is pretty safe from the Dems efforts to impeach. This would still be true if the "wave" election takes place.
The GOP would rather play defense than offense, anyway. They may let the Dems have Congress, and they will keep the Presidency. At least for now.
But it may not be a wave election after all. A united party may do better in the election. A fractured party that cannot govern will not inspire confidence.
It is still a long time before the elections in November, and a lot can happen. But right now, the Dems have a long shot in the Senate, and maybe even the House.
We'll have to wait and see, but I think the GOP has a shot at keeping the whole shooting match in place.
If that happens, a lot of screeching at the moon may ensue. Awwwwwwwww. /sarc
