“One issue no one seems to have mentioned — suppose President Trump really does take office on January 20, 2017. Who in congress would he work with to accomplish anything? The Democrats disdain him, but worse, the Republican contingent detests him. How would he get any legislation passed?”

Three ways of looking at that:

#1 Congressional leadership works with the President or risks the wrath of the voters in their home district.

#2 The President works with the conservative members of Congress to oust the current leadership.

#3 By precedent and by Congressional abdication, Barack Obama has, by “executive order,” and SCOTUS by decree, have demonstrated that “The People’s Representatives” i.e. the Congress, is irrelevant.

The “Law” is whatever a Supreme Court Justice or the President says it is.

I believe Trump's ability to employ the bully pulpit will amaze even his supporters. Besides what better guy to have on your side negotiating a deal?
