McConnell is not notorious for having any backbone at all.
By the time Pres. Trump had delivered the first five minutes of his damning speech, McConnell and Ryan and their cavalcade of wimpy GOP back-slappers were probably wishing they had stayed in session, as far from that podium and the cheering throng as they could get. That was an unprecedented political flogging of both parties. TERM LIMITS should be forced on this bunch of worthless tools.
It won’t surprise me to see the House start to act with one mind - most often in opposition to Trump.
Trumps very existence challenges the corrupt system.
The deep state in action.
1) Save McConnels wife’s confirmation hearing for last
2) Figure out who is the real senate leader and work with him
Anyone who has taken the time to study President Donald John Trump knows that he is a man who is unafraid of a challenge.
The democrats in the senate along with a few RINOs continually challenge the President by attacking his nominees.
President Trump has nominated Gov Rick Perry to head and rein in the dept of energy, certain buffons in the Senate are acting like the fools they are. Likewise with Mrs. DeVoss as head of the dept of education and Rex Tillerson.
Now let's look at reality folks, something the democrats are unwilling and/or are incapable of doing.
As for hindering Gov. Perry for secretary of energy and Mrs. DeVoss to head the infamous failure, the department of education. The choice is clear confirm the nominees and have a streamlined, revamped, less dangerous department or have no department at all.
Concerning the Department of State and Rex Tillerson's appointment, fail to appoint and President Trump will be his own Secretary of State.
Trust me I have no love lost for McConnell and we need to keep an eye on him. On Fox News Sunday though he seemed pretty resolute that all nominees will be confirmed soon.
Congress and senate have act more like the Let’s make a Deal show Monte Hall winks.
I think the main reason The Turtle didn’t keep the Senate in session all weekend was they would miss all the inauguration parties. After all parties come before party.
Skip the recess appointment route. I’d issue EOs to terminate DofEducation and DofEnergy as cabinet positions and several others (but, I’d start with these because they are contentious).
I’d keep DeVos and Perry in DC as paid “advisors”, corralled by Advisor Kushner, The Son-in-Law.
Let Schumer deal with the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the long-time employees of both departments who will be losing their employment.
