2020 has the potential to be more challenging, if the Dem's can field a candidate worth voting for. 2020 could easily see serious infighting with Trump getting primaried. That would be chaotic for 2020 house/senate seats.

Some of the changes (like taking tuition stipends for graduate students as income) just seem punitive and stupid. That one in particular, in an age where we need more tech savvy, educated citizens, lets make it harder to afford graduate school...

I'm not worried, at least I can write off my private jet costs now...

Agreed 100%.

But if the economy is still steamrolling in 2018 or 2020, I suspect people will be willing to put up with Trump's idiotic behavior. I know I will.
