One thing the Republicans have now that they haven’t had for decades is a truly strong, fearless leader. Ryan is a bright guy, but is weak. Trump can give him the spine he needs to get his job done. Same on the Senate side.

Does this mean that Trump can’t nominate anyone else in the Senate because it would upend the 51 count...unless you are allowed to vote for yourself. Can you vote for yourself?

Don’t worry. I’m sure the GOPe will manage to snap defeat from the jaws of victory by changing the rule back.
