I laughed out loud.
As it dawned on me you are right.
When have a Majority Dem Congress or a Dem POTUS ever capitulated like this to the GOP in recent history. I am sure they have..I just don’t know when.
I am wondering, what do you think the result of a long winded battle would have been?
The GOP in Congress has demonstrated time and again that they are unable to rule as a majority.
Reagan compromised all of the time. And he is the epitome of Presidential to most of us.
Never, not once have they surrendered let alone preemptively surrendered. I think most of us suspected Trump was more a blue dog democrat and with NYC roots he is used to working “across the aisle” to get something done. I don’t think any of us saw the GOP as the true surrender monkeys that they are.
Overall, Trump surrendered indefensible turf (indefensible by GOP standards) to the Dems as a way of leveraging the GOP in the future. It is a huge gamble. My bet is this delivers the final blow to the GOP.
