RCW....to your point about Trump and longevity of his issue commitment....had a chat with a friend who is a serious political pro (and has been involved in presidential races) and this was today's "take":

Trump was a dem till recently..and his election language was purely political, probably didn't mean most of it, but it played effectively to his base..and he is/was anything but conservative on "social issues"....he will throw some "red meat to his base with a SCOTUS appt and then implement an infrastructure program that will get bipartisan support.

The midterms are critical and there will be a very aggressive approach to those midterms....unlike the past....particularly House races.....

I don't know how accurate this assessment is...this individual did start her comments with the "If we don't have nuclear war" first, statement.....
