Just what we need, more back seat drivers to go with the 60 million already there.

Re: “Both Ryan and McConnell need to be recalled immediately if they are this compromised.”

Ryan and McConnell have never been compromised.

Both of them are center-left Republicans who have always supported large parts of the Democratic Party agenda.

Both of them are men of principle.

Unfortunately, the wrong principles.

All those promised jobs from corporations are based on a new tax structure. Bammy-care is also part of it. If we have to wait six months to a year Trump will be hammered as a bomb thrower without delivering on his two main campaign promises: jobs and eliminating Obamacare. Period.

"You can always shop a Federal Judge to rule in your favor."

Only ~677 to choose from. Finding one in the 9th Circus is a Big Plus.

IIRC, Forbes ran for POTUS, but when offered to run for Senator (I think in NJ) in 1996, he bailed.

If he wouldn't take a consolation prize, like WINNING a Senate seat, I couldn't take him seriously after that.

I'd respect him a lot more if he put his money where his mouth is.

Plus I'm not impressed with the leftist turn his magazine has taken.

Almost as bad as national review.

Hint: in order to get conservative legislation passed, you have to actually WIN.

Being a "principled conservative" who opposes democrat presidents is still LOSING.

Yep - it won’t be Trump who “botches” it - it will be deliberate sabotage by the likes of Ryan and McConnell....
