The Republicans do not have a major legislative victory so far despite controlling the House, the Senate and the Presidency. Much of that is attributable to Republicans in Congress wanting to tread lightly politically so as not to offend. However, in this Divided Era, how the Democrats played politics with the likes of now Justice Gorsuch and the Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff should be a wakeup call for Republicans.

Regardless of what you think of Trump, he didn’t get elected by being bashful. He said what was on his mind and promised big changes. On several fronts, at least in matters within his control, he is producing changes. From deregulation, to immigration and foreign policy, change is afoot.

Many people attribute the lack of action in Congress to be gutlessness by the Republicans, when in reality they are Democrats in R jerseys.
They want the same things Democrats want.

Amnesty for illegal aliens.
Open borders.
Obamacare.
Big government.
