12. I'd agree with you except for the influence of the "both sides" MSM news networks

I think the only reason that CNN and MSNBC come off as being pro Democratic, is simply because its impossible these days to defend anything Trump says or does, and if the Republican party fully supports him, to the point of lying and acting like baffoons, they have no choice.

But as soon as Trump finally leaves, and there is a "moderate" like a Bush or a Romney running. Even if they run another Trump lover like Pence, or Cruz, the MSM will fawn all over them. They will be so relieved to be able to go back to the false equivalency MO in order to keep their access, and get invited to the Washington cocktail party list.

The MSM will make sure that everything is smoothed over. There even could be elements in the Democratic party that also is keen to "move forward", in order to get back to the status quo. May even with the best intentions, in not wanting to create an even further division in both Washington and the country. And there are also corpoate executives in the MSM giants that also do not want market turmoil or uncertainty that is exacerbated by a contentious Washington.
