Good to know - but wish they would keep their tactics quiet until they actually do it.

IIRC this is how Obama got us Obamacare.

Turnabout is fair play.

Today we hold the house and Senate. Tomorrow we don’t. Do we want to void the process?

Whatever it takes. If this is the quickest path to get Trumps agenda
jump started, then go for it.

Trump will get more good things for America done in his first 100 days than politicians have for the last 100 years which is really nothing , mostly amnesties, more government , bad trade deals , more loss of freedom , more spending, more regulations , more debt.more 3rd world immigrants,more taxes etc. .that’s true with only a few minor exceptions with Reagan and Ike .But Reagan was fooled into signing an amnesty and never did nothing against Japan’s unfair trade practices which Trump was warning about even then in the 1980’s.

In fact it seems Trump has already got more done in 3 days after getting elected with no power yet.Imagine 8 years of Trump

It’s not unprecedented. It is sometimes used by both sides to ram through legislation that can’t pass otherwise like Obamacare.

Folks, whatever the process, I want it done in a way the Left cannot come back and emulate later against us.

These new ideas are always some idiot’s brainstorm. We all get gleeful thinking we really accomplished something. Then the Left comes along and does it and we get all pissy about it.

Just do it by the book. We have the numbers. Kick their ass the right way.

Spend the political capital while you have it. In two years, we don’t know what the voting public will do. We might lose one house of Congress. . . . so prioritize now and go after the biggest targets while the Repubs have both houses AND the presidency.

Be not afraid.

This is creative thinking. Since the Congress didn’t pass a 2017 budget in 2016, they can pass it in 2017.

Then 6 months later they can pass the 2018 budget. Two budgets, two reconciliation bills. No filibuster. I like it.
