Nothing in politics happens without a plan. I suspect this has already been “gamed” by both the Repubs and Dems...The Repubs must believe they have the upper hand hence pressing forward...the Dems realize they’re in a tight squeeze. Overreact and turn off undecided and independent voters...under react and turn off the base. The screws are about to be tightened. Reactions are already known...buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride the next 45 days.
Trump is playing with house money.
