Is it possible Joe Walsh is sounding sane because he is worried about 2018?

[Quixote1818]

It has to be on his mind that as unpopular as Trump is there will be a tidal wave of backlash against Trump in two years and Dems will probably take back both houses. It's just hard for me to believe he went from bat shit crazy to suddenly sounding like one of the few sane Republicans. I suppose it is possible he puts country before party but he hasn't seemed the type. I am very suspicious.

it gets him in the news. He gets appearances on news shows. If he was like all the other Repugs - who'd want to talk to him. This way he gets in the spotlight.

3. seems like the Republicans would just go with what worked before in 2001

redux in 2017: Trumpence just lets ISIS set off a large bomb in some random "blue city", thousands of casualties, the nation mourns, invade a random middle eastern country, patriot act part ii, etc. blammo! dissent magically transmuted to treason before the 2018 elections which require voters to be cleared through the "new & enhanced" crosscheck validation system. magic!
