Interesting take. There is some truth to that. I do believe the tax bill provide some unification between the DC party and Trump. They have a unifying message for the first time. The midterms will be fought largely on that issue to the GOPs benefit. Beyond that, the GOP candidates do largely stand on their own.
I’m in complete agreement regarding the tax bill.
I turn 66 in early 2020. It means that from that point on, whatever happens, if push comes to shove I can always just throw in the towel and retire. I say that because I think the tax bill, though necessary, is just more kicking of the financial crisis can down the road. There will be a day of reckoning, and it will be sooner rather than later. We’ve been living on borrowed time since 2008.
