But what does this mean?  Possible covers a lot of territory. Put bluntly, are there any economic outcomes that could occur in the next four years that would cause you to revolt against the party in power that you current support? Or is any outcome acceptable if under your team, because you will assume that was all that was possible?

I don't vote based on party; I vote based on policy.  You have a reasonable idea of the policies I support.  If the Democrats were to switch to my preferred policies, while Trump switched to yours, then I'd switch my vote - but then, you'd probably switch your vote too.

I'm less likely to switch parties at this point. I don't trust the Democrats at all at this point.

They'd have to show that they would actually work toward sensible policies; promises would not be sufficient.  I don't expect this to be put to the test; political parties can't change their platforms that easily, as it's easier to lose votes than to gain them.

Democrats have been accomodating to Republicans and trying to be Republicans too often. I sure hope that the Democrats never adopt the policies that you two guys consider "sensible." We already have a Party that advocates those policies; we don't need two. As a matter of fact, we don't really need one.
