These are of course an outrage, but they have an audience of one: Trump. They're only spending $300,000 to air them, which is basically nothing. I'm seeing them in DC. I assume they're on Fox News and other places Trump will see them. They are another binky. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Post midterm Trump is a pretty terrifying prospect. He'll be furious and even more obsessed with legacy, which he defines as buildings and monuments. He's going to defy court orders and judges and do whatever he wants as fast as he can. Watch out Kennedy Center and he'll start that damn arch.

I think there's a pretty dangerous scenario that could play out when Trump and Republicans lose midterms: he will put boots on the ground and/or nuke Iran. The nuke thing is way more than a zero percent chance. Trump is literally insane. And then he will invade Cuba. Buckle up even if GOP loses big.
