Whatever happens on taxes and healthcare will be McConnell and Ryan's doing. Trump is going to sign whatever they send him and declare victory.

He has no power to influence the process any more unless he wants to veto the bills. No way he vetoes a bill coming out of Congress--he has few friends left there and they have the power of impeachment.

He foolishly got himself into this mess.

It will be impossible for him to change Congress in the midterms because no real candidates that want to oppose republicans will want Trump's endorsement either.

He lost the freedom caucus after losing the GOPe. He certainly has no democrat support. Libertarians don't like him. The Kochs don't like him.

If he ever becomes effective in getting legislative changes done it will be the greatest transformation of a sitting President ever.

Jimmy Carter's record with Congress will be more impressive and the DEMe hated him.

And yet Trump's popularity is higher than the Congress

I imagine you there with your cat, becoming more and more agitated, fondling your little Lindsey Graham doll, as thoughts of film credits and Trump tweets race through your mind.

more like the GOPE cucks and democrat lite party are obstructing the president and the will of the people, don't worry we will deal with them next in the primaries.

The problem for McConnell and Ryan is that anything Trump signs will be HIS victory, not theirs.

McConnell and Ryan can't have that.

You think there are two side in Washington? There is only the illusion of a democratic government. This country was conquered years ago by foreign interest/money and only puts on a face for the people.

I would absolutely love to see Jeff Flake, Bob Corker and Dean Heller voted out of office in 2018.

Oh my fricking God



You mean the dudes that have been in power for years and have zero accomplishments to show for?

I really hope this thread gets anchored because you are literally to fricking stupid hold any rational argument with.

Screw those two. They are as big of a hindrance to this country's progress than the Dems. They have power but have no idea how to use it.

When they do use it, they go against the wishes of the people who voted them into office.

Screw them.

Wait until he starts campaigning against those that are opposing him from his own party. I think you are going to see a ground swell of new candidates to challenge the old guard start popping up that really want to change this country for the better. Pop the plug on the swamp.

They won't need Trump's endorsement. They just need him to say the incumbent guy/girl they're running against is an ineffective loser. Hell, that's what most people and a LARGE number of Republican voters think anyway. Trump has been in office less than a year. Republican congressmen have been bitching and complaining about Obama-care for (at least) 6 years. Yet, when the time came for them do something about it they had no solution. Who do you think think the voters blame for their spineless ineptitude? Hint: It isn't Trump
