valid point. On the other hand, I dont think it will be the dems who take that step.

Republicans are likely to maintain power through the midterm. The problem is, team trump is running out of currency with his base. If he wants to win reelection as the guy who puts billionaires and life-time politicians in power, blows through tax payer money and doesn't fix "things," he's going to have to have something to hang his "I'm an outsider" hat on. Term limits, taxing corps, something. The options of what wont ruffle Republicans' feathers is short.
