I was just about to say this.

And a step further, I think we are never getting past Republican fiscal policies until we get them passed and put into practice, with a clear line of accountability back the Republican party.

We bit the bullet for 2-4 years, and then it's clear whether the work or don't. If they do then we will be better off. If they don't, those middle voters, angry at the mess, will swing back with Democratic policies. We'll have single-payer, military spending shifted to infrastructure and education, etc.  

If I am correct about this, backlash against Trump will ice the cake. Dems will be back in power in 202, likely with the Senate and Congress.
