The Republicans who could cause trouble for Donald Trump's agenda
CBS news ^ | January 2, 2017 | Emily Schultheis

Unless he encounters substantial opposition, that is. Mr. Trump may have both houses of Congress under GOP control, but it’s a narrow 52-to-48 majority in the Senate -- meaning even just a few rogue GOPers could keep Trump-led legislation from passing.

Here are some of the people in the Republican Party who could throw a wrench in Mr. Trump’s plans:

Trump just has to go on twitter and name and blame and the voters will get behind him.

Before even reading this article I am going to guess the following:

McCain, Linda Graham, Flake, Sasse, Rubio (immigration matters), Collins (for a variety of matters); Paul Ryan. Let’s see how i do.

ALL Republicans are intrinsically opposed to the Trump agenda.

ALL of them.

As they are all corrupt, dirty whores, anyone who would expose them is their enemy.

Most at risk are the demented warmongers and globalists. So, yes, all Republicans are intrinsically opposed to the Trump agenda.

About 80% correct. I missed Rand and Kasich and mishit on Collins. Kasich is an idiot and poses absolutely no threat to Trump. With the RINOs, they all should be considered treacherous in any possible circumstance.

“McCain, Linda Graham, Flake, Sasse, Rubio (immigration matters), Collins (for a variety of matters); Paul Ryan. Let’s see how i do.”

Add Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. In the 114th Congress she has voted with the GOP 61% of the time.

McCain wants attention most of all. He’d love it if Trump trolled him on twitter.

Trump will do something that every president since Reagan has failed to do . . . TRUST the American people.

This is the biggest reason that America is going to be great again!

what a foolish post

Mariner, your post doesn't really make much sense to me either. This New Year we should all be celebrating that the makeup of our representatives in government finally appears to be swinging back toward sanity. I think that I know what the problem is however... you should probably get one of those compartmentalized pill dispensing containers from the dollar store. You load the pills you are suppose to take each day into it ahead of time. If you are not sure if you have taken your pills for the day, you can just take a look. This system has helped me a lot with my blood pressure meds and it might be able to help you too. ; )
