The article talks about a list of things that won't be done. But What caught my eyes are the paragraphs at the end of the article:

He believes demonizing and disempowering political professionals and parties is like spending decades abusing and attacking your own immune system.

The have only themselves to blame. This comment seems to blame electorates for abandoning elites who are just doing a fine job. The rot is indeed deep if this is what passes as an insightful analysis.

I think the word that James Hohmann is looking for is "founder".

A flounder is a fish.

Well, we’re going to invest in infrastructure – our roads, our bridges, our tunnels, our ports, our airports. … We are going to do water systems. We’re going to do sewer systems. We are also going to build a modern electric grid.”

I thought Obama’s stimulus had already taken care of those things............./s

Not with RINO Ryan rolling out the red carpet for her.

Thanks, WI-1.

Only if Congress was doing their job, so far they haven't.
We will see another 4-8 years of Republicans being sweet-talked or arm twisted in backroom deals to vote with the Dems.

As Obama has shown, a president doesn't need congress. He just makes decrees. The lord of the manner makes laws.

The weekend after the election in 2008. Valerie Jarrett was the co-chair of Obama’s transition team. He asked about the process of transition, and Jarrett responded “It is important that President-elect Obama is prepared to really take power and be ready to rule day one.”

They already got $trillions for "shovel-ready projects" and didn't do any of that.

Be honest. Trump’s agenda would flounder in Congress, too.

I thought we already “invested” in the infrastructure under the Obammie “stimulus” program. I’m really not sure that Americans are all that excited about putting up with even more orange signs, barrels, cones and people leaning on shovels than we already have to put up with now. I spent an hour and twenty five minutes at a “30 minute delay” construction site the other day waiting for the “pilot car”. As we were taken through the construction site, all I saw was two little orange street sweepers and a bunch of guys with hardhats on leaning on shovels, brooms and the back of a bunch of new pickup trucks. What a joke.

Sr. Beck was suggesting this morning that even if we could not agree on Trump at the top, that we desperately need to come together to vote GOP downticket, so that the GOP can act as a “speed bump” to Hillary’s agenda if she gets elected.

This is quite foolish: if Hillary gets elected, the Congress will be her toadies and give her everything she desires, since the Congress has been doing this for 8 years under Obama, regardless of which party has been in the majority. On the contrary, if Trump is elected, the Congress will be his greatest impediment, certainly if the Democrats are in the majority, but perhaps more so if the GOP is in the majority.

Our first task is to get Trump elected. Our second task, beginning on November 10, is to bring the Congress into submission to the will of the people, by any lawful means necessary, regardless of who inhabits the Congress.

“Our most pressing political problem today is that the country abandoned the establishment, not the other way around,”

That sort of thinking speaks volumes.

The Daily 202: Hillary Clinton’s agenda would flounder in Congress. Here are seven reasons why.

And here's one why it wouldn't:

The author's basic premise is completely flawed. Hillary Clinton doesn't have any "agenda" to speak of. Anything she says is missing details, and she has no game plan to follow through on anything.

There's a reason for this. For a candidate like Hillary Clinton, the only purpose of an "agenda" is to pretend she actually has a plan that will resonate with the voters whose support she needs. The reality is that this "agenda" is meaningless because she has no interest in them. Hillary Clinton is the Goldman Sachs candidate in this election, which means her "agenda" is whatever they want her to do ... and the Republicans in Congress won't stand in her way because most of them are supported by the same contributors who support Hillary Clinton.

The only "agenda" she will have is to use U.S. intelligence and military assets to support the big-government globalist agenda that has been the dominant theme inside the Beltway since 1990.

Sounds like Obama’s plan.

The short version is called bankrupting companies and putting Americans out of work.
