Where is Trump the fighter? Where did he go?

______________________________________________

You want him to fight a battle he cannot win? A battle that will only cost him more of what little political clout he has left in DC?

After losing on TrumpCare - you want him to double down and lose even bigger on this stopgap budget bill?

What’s the matter with you? You hate Trump that much? You want to see the Rats, Repugs and the MSM dine on his carcass?

There’s a time and a place to take a stand. Now ain’t it.

I’m not accusing but the thought has occurred to me about 25 times that Koskinen could have information that others do not want exposed.

Bingo - that's the way Washington works: Bribe, blackmail and bulls*t in order to hold onto power. Koskinen should have been fired long ago, but he has the goods on all of the sons of b*tches up there in that vast swamp. It's the only reason he's held onto HIS power!

To paraphrase Marcus Aurelius’ notes to himself, “stop acting as if you have 10,000 years to live.”

>We’re told it will get dealt with in October. Oh Really? why not now?

Because in October he gets to pass a full budget. More room to wheel and deal to get the filibusterer removed.

I'm seeing a disturbing resemblance to 1969, when, with Left in disarray after losing the White House in November and the departure of liberal Associate Justice Abe Fortas from the Supreme Court in disgrace following a scandal, conservatives were eager for newly-elected President Nixon to embrace a conservative agenda. Instead, he "punted on first down," on conservative issues and pushed for a guaranteed annual income, increased funding for food stamps, "affirmative action," Project FIND, designed to increase the welfare rolls by finding eligible recipients, etc.

But it's still too early to tell, and judging from his speech the other night, Trump remains committed to a conservative agenda.

Congressional elections in November? Don't really know.

no - it is more than that - There are things he can’t win without the republicans in congress ( RINOS/demopublicans). But they got to Trump - he is co-opted by the deep state now - starting with the fake gas attack in Syria. About once or twice a week he has caved on something he didn’t need to — last bit is global warming..

What I see is that the policy will be no different than before..

Man up Trump.

Shut the damn thing down and make congress squirm.
Make the reporters go insane.

And make the base that elected you support you even more.

This wasn't TRUMP'S budget

It was Obama's incomplete one

The September Budget should do Conservatives Justice & I also heard you need 60 Senate Votes to get the Budget passed, not just a simple majority!

TRUMP will need to give Democrats goodies but that might not even do

Maybe we should wait on a complete Budget & get 60 GOP Senators in 2018 Midterms then pass the Budget we all want like funding for the Wall & defending Planned Parenthood

This was 2017 Obama’s and Congress that was not passed. It takes 60 for to pass a Trump budget in the Senate, Dems would not let that pass.
They got what they could.

All the political theater that is being blamed on Trump is, in fact, inaction or submission of RINOs in the house. They legislate.
