And, of course, before the end of the year, Republicans in Congress will have to authorize the federal government to borrow more money, increasing the already unsustainable national debt.
While this plays out, there will be no action on ObamaCare or illegal immigration. Congress will also simply watch as Obama regulatory actions undermine any prospect of future economic growth.
Further, it bears overstating that after winning the Senate Majority on a vow to reverse Obama’s abuse of Executive Power on Amnesty, one of the first actions of the Senate Republicans was to grant Obama more Executive Power to pursue a secret trade deal. They also, naturally, took no action on Obama’s abuse of executive authority on immigration. The actions of the Senate Republicans, of course, were heartily supported by the increasingly statist U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
In other words, if you think the political outsiders are doing well in the Presidential primary now, just wait until Republicans in Congress return, openly pursue the agenda of their biggest corporate donors and squander whatever political capital they still have.
During the Civil War, Union General George McClellan refused to battle the Confederate Army unless he had the overwhelming forces he claimed he needed. When we would finally acquiesce to fight, he proceeded to squander his innumerable advantages. McClellan even had the Confederate battle plan ahead of the Battle of Antietam and still only managed to eke out a very bloody stalemate.
Unfortunately for the Republic, Boehner and McConnell clearly skipped this chapters in history class. For political outsiders, though, the continued tone-deafness of Republican leaders is Heaven-sent.

Giving the Sultan more power will be redundant. He can simply take the power of raising debt limits and do as he wishes.Who the hell is going to stop him?
Comparing Boehner and McConnell to Civil War Union General George McClellan bump!
I foresee a barage of Congress is stupid and Congress is weak comments from Trump.
Followed by similar comments 5 days later from the lower energy poll seeking candidates
GOPe don’t want to stop the gravy train at tax payers expense. Any fight with Obama will stop it and they don’t want to risk it
Whenever I see the word “nuclear,” I think of Jimmy Carter.
Was there ever?
OBAMA has the Executive Branch LOCKED and loaded for maleficence..
Boehner and McConnell have Congress LOCKED and loaded for maleficence..
AND John Roberts has the Supreme’s LOCKED and loaded for maleficence..
Question: WHAT GOOD CAN COME FROM THIS?......
Answer: A Ted Cruz Presidency.....
Congress needs to be clearly in the sights of Trump until things get hotter on the POTUS House Race early next year.
They will claim they don't want to upset the voters by challenging King Nero, so they will roll over and play dead.
Meanwhile, Nero will go crazy with his unchecked power.
Come August and Sept. Boehner/McTurtle along with Pee Wee Priebus, Cornyn et al will claim they need to be re-elected to stop ....anything.
Of course, the next unasked question is: what good can a conservative president do against a gutless Republican Congress? (Hint: none)
“short-term spending bills to keep the government open during negotiations.”
What “negotiations”? The GOPe doesn’t “negotiate”, they cave. They’ve caved 100% to obama on everything and stopped 0% of obama’s agenda.

I think of W. Nuke-lee-ear vs. Nuke-u-lure.
Yes, I am a Ted Cruz voter and He can do great thing for this country...
It may take a Big Horse like Trump to use the “Bully pulpit”
to motivate the American people to put pressure on a
republicrap Congress. I can Vote for a Trump/Cruz ticket...
not a Trump-Carson or any other ticket I can imagine.
Good afternoon.
“Question: WHAT GOOD CAN COME FROM THIS?......”
An increase in the supply of rope and lamppost?
5.56mm
