I'm all in either way given the alternative but this idea to push this off until after the mid-terms is textbook Washington. Then if the Dems win the house (even if you think this result is a longshot, a lot of people don't and mid-term election history does support their thesis) then it's pretty much over on this issue for atleast 2 years and likely a lot longer.
It's one thing the GOP/Dems/media agree on so they just keep it out of the news as much as they can.
Few weeks ago McCain dies, then Nike releases a controversial ad, then some NYT Op-ed says Trump is crazy, then Woodward releases his book, next week Caitlyn Jenner is gonna go back to Bruce. The week after that another porn star is gonna say Trump fucked her.
Anything, and I mean anything, to keep this shit off the front page.
