9. I think Trump and his family are smart enough to not do anything really

Blatant that gets them in a lot of trouble. Especially after it's come up in just the past two weeks, and he's not even in office yet.

I think the bribes they'll take will be along the lines of "after you're out of office...." or "we'll give these grants and permits to this holding company that Trump Corp will just happen to acquire after 2 years."

And I think we'll get our asses kicked in 2018. Repubs have demonstrated the ability to get out and vote during mid term elections, and Democrats haven't.
