Incumbency has been so strong a factor to reelection that qualified candidates do not challenge a sitting Senator. Trump needs to shake this up by identifying strong primary opponents to incumbent Republican Senators and then holding rallies with them. The rally stump speech should be about sending a new team to Congress to work with Trump, and Trump wants the people of the great state of XXX to vote for YYY in 2018.
At the very least, this should put a fear of loss in the Republican Senate, so much so that they stop undermining Trump or else they will just be giving Trump more campaign fodder for additional rallies in 2018.
Start now. Show these GOPe Senators that they cannot stay complacent and dismissive of their constituents.

I don't think so. I don't think they ever intended to repeal anything.
“It’s time for a new political party.”
That’d take decades, what’s left of America probably doesn’t have decades.
Socialist-fascism is coming.
“Trump: “I’m going to just let Obamacare fail and the dems can own it, not me.”
If only it were that simple.
Nothing is ever that simple or easy when the ruthless Democrats and craven Swamp Republicans sharpen knives to secure their lucrative positions.
Nope - Lincoln formed the GOP in 2 years.
Better resurrect him then, no one’s gotten close since.
I realize that I may be “preaching to the choir.”
But sometimes I imagine that if I post it “loudly”
that somehow of the unwashed deaf might hear.
Narcan has saved some individuals, for sure, but overall it has made the situation worse. It has enabled addicts to expect to be saved if they overdose.
What this would be is another billions of dollars fiasco involving medical care, counseling, assisted living, that would never be unraveled. One can't help but suspect that Senator Portman's deep-pocket donors in medical, pharmaceutical, counseling, and care-giving companies are salivating at the possibilities.
I think Trump is right. Let it crash and burn then make those responsible own it!
I dunno. I think that becomes a PR thing and the press is going to do their best to make repubs and white house own it. We elected him to drain the swamp. To “fix” things. I think he should start by killing Obamacare completely.
No, I figure if I wasn't meant to vote, I'd be somewhere else, like Cuba or North Korea.
