Repubs and Trump

Aug 21, 2017 4:07AM PDT

Repubs in congress are starting to figure out they have a loonie in the WH.

What the repubs have not figured out is how their going to handle the loonie and get something done.

I wish them luck.

It isn't AT ALL my problem, but

I notice more and more people on both sides of the aisle* talking 'resignation'.
Regardless of how and if he goes, less than a year ["one and done?"] would be some kind of record for American politics. Even Old Tippecanoe had to get a terminal illness.

*An archaic phrase. Now it's 'on both sides of the police line'.

What they have to figure out is how in hell they are going to keep THEIR seats when a good majority of them actually RAN on and got RE-ELECTED by running on the Trump agenda and now vote against it....such as REPEAL for the last eight years with every single Republican in both houses voting for it over 50 times with a President they KNEW would veto the bill, but now that they have one who will actually SIGN it, punked out and voted AGAINST it. The PEOPLE voted Trump IN and they will vote those Republicans OUT. What the people hate more than 'loonies' are LIARS........

They took 50 symbolic votes knowing it had no chance....that was easy.

Then reality hit when they found out what they were really going to do.
They folded.
Will see how this plays out.
