Congressional Republicans are warning President Trump that a first 100 days that unfolds like his administration's chaotic first 10 days could undermine their agenda and spark a voter revolt.
The White House's lack of communication and coordination with allies in Congress and even agencies charged with carrying out Trump's executive orders has left some Republicans frustrated and concerned.
They stand ready to support Trump, even on some of his more politically charged actions, but can't do so effectively if the administration acts secretively and without input.
A House Republican consistently supportive of Trump described the new administration as a "garage band," reflecting his colleagues' anxiety that voters could interpret an ongoing state of chaos as incompetence.

With Republicans controlling all levels of government, they would most likely feel the brunt of that public dissatisfaction, as past presidents, and congressional majorities, have learned in midterm elections past.
Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 3 ranking Republican in the Senate, urged the White House to avoid distractions and destructive behavior.
"Stay focused," Thune said, during a brief interview with the Washington Examiner. "We want to stay focused."
"We have a specific agenda which we have laid out and which we think the American people are asking us to get busy with," Thune continued. "If the administration can successfully work with us on those things, I think we'll make headway. And, I think we'll find that if we get results the American people will reward that."
The Trump presidency got off to an active start with a flurry of executive orders. That wasn't the problem; many of them involved fulfilling campaign promises that have substantial Republican support. At issue was the execution.
Actually if you look at the history of the Billboard charts a LOT of garage bands charted.
The voter revolt that is coming is against the spineless RINOs.
The voters like what Trump is doing and dislike the spineless RINOs.

“Congressional Republicans are warning President Trump that a first 100 days that unfolds like his administration’s chaotic first 10 days could undermine their agenda and spark a voter revolt.”
Newsflash for Congressional Republicans:
The Voter Revolt elected Trump.
If the rest of you gripers don’t STFU and get in line your hides will be nailed to the wall next.
“Chaotic? What pussies.............When will the Rhinos die?”
It’s our domestic enemies’ go-to buzzword. Big Media and the left’s “Republicans” have all been instructed to use it as often as possible.
Nirvana, Slipknot, Three Doors Down just off the top of my head.
Another piece of fake news?
But they play the best music.
