I love David and Tim but today I think I almost disagree with everything he said:

1. Constitutional crisis: I just don’t see it. Sure the evil libs will think this but I don’t think the institutions will act accordingly. First, the justice department will just drop the charges and they will tell the states you can’t charge a sitting president. Easy peasy. It’s not like any of these things will go to court or be finished at the appeals court by Election Day. Everything will just stop.

2. He only needs 50 senators for his cabinet. After everything David has seen (and I agree with Tim that the senate will be 50 +1) that he thinks these idiot republican senators won’t confirm anyone Trump nominates? I don’t but I hope I am wrong. I mean my bet the judge down in Florida gets a PROMOTION. Take that to the bank.

3. Mexico: yes it is creeping towards authoritarianism. I just am surprised that David thinks we have any actual control over that situation. The absolute best thing we could do for Mexico is deal with guns and drugs….and we all know that ain’t happening.

4. Supreme Court: first, if David doesn’t think that this court will rubber stamp Trump’s crazy decisions I got a bridge in Alaska to sell you. Second, even if they wanted to I think they would be to scared to do anything because they know, as we all know, that Trump would just…not listen.

5. I just don’t think there was much jb can do at the border without congress. Yes, he could have done more on margin but even if immigration decreased by 20% (like it has been the last few months) it’s not like it is going to make a difference in the election. It’s a counterfactual I know but they run the same playbook on every dem president. They ran on this in 2012 when immigration was low!!!

6. Protests like in Israel: I think we all can’t imagine what Trump will do to protesters but it won’t be pretty. It will get ugly but I doubt it leads to change or an impeachment.
