There's something to what you say, no doubt. But a lot of Democratic voters stayed home because they thought Hillary is a crook. A failed trial might make some of them relent. Of course, a whole lot of Trumpsters would scream "We was robbed!"

I am still in a wait and see mode regarding Trump. It's possible I can do well under Trump financially, but looking at Ryan's tax "reform", there are a couple of pretty big deductions that I would lose (along with a whole lot of average income people) and I'm not sure the cutting of top income rates would make up for it. Trump's trade policies might raise the price of TV's and iPhones while returning few jobs to the US, especially with retaliatory tariffs. Cutting the safety net would hurt a lot of poor including kids. Increased spending along with top-end tax cuts likely would blow up the debt. It could be a disaster. We'll watch it unfold over the next 14 weeks. Four years from now, Trump could be a bum. or a hero.
