It’s important to start to focus on the fact that Trumpismo does not have a majority in either house of Congress.
A critical decision needs to be made soon, and that is - should Trump go before Congress and make a “Who’s with me?” speech? A “Love me or leave me” speech.
If he does so, some RINOs, and perhaps many RINOs, will abandon him and vote with the Democrats. This would allow Trump to run his own people in 2018 (and he has the cash and organizational talent to do it), but it would run the risk of his removal before then.
If he sticks with the GOP, he will be tangled up endlessly.
What say you?
He needs to tell Congress to stand up with him or get out of the way in about a year when there will be no time to mount impeachment proceedings before the midters. He then needs to field his candidates, esp in the Senate, to become bullet proof. All we must pray is to keep the man alive. GW stood toe to toe with the enemy. DT wis doing so as well.
The Republicans will be signing their own death warrant if they take that route. They've already lost much political capital on account of doing nothing the past six years when they had the majority and acting instead like the minority party. Now that they have the House, the Senate and the Presidency, if they roll over once again and surrender to Democrats, they will never (and rightfully so) have such an opportunity to lead again.
I believe President Trump will essentially call them out this Tuesday night (State of Union speech) and challenge them to get on board. Otherwise, I see Trump himself disassociating himself from the Republican Party and declaring himself an Independent, and will build a coalition to form the basis of a brand new party. Republicans as we know them will go the way of the Whigs. That might not be such a bad thing. The GOP is for the most part rotten to the core and are led by globalists and surrender monkeys.
