Hope to be wrong, but my "if they pause, they stop," prediction seems to be holding up pretty well. A lot of reasons for it. People with more money and bigger microphones than me start making demands. The tan suit stories start coming fast. Republicans have time to regroup and start throwing their hissy fits, which the press loves.
Figure out what you want to do, and do it fast. If you can't do that, do plan B. Fast. If not, plan C. Etc...
