Donald Trump thundered to Americans, "I am your voice," as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination this summer.
As president, he'll find that Washington has a way of shouting back — even to the point of drowning him out.
The seat of the federal government is teeming with interest groups, corporate lobbyists and big-money super PACs. They will have some different goals than Trump and wide swaths of his voters, particularly on matters of government ethics and trade deals. There's comparatively little in place to pressure lawmakers to follow Trump's lead.

If I write “I’m 180 pounds” 5000 times, will it happen? :)
Let me know.
Has anyone here ever had anyone poll their opinion about anything. I don’t mean a “push poll” designed to manipulate either their opinion or to misrepresent the motivations of pro freedom individuals. Usually they manipulate the answers to show racist, homophobic, Islamophobic greed motivations and to warn the good people.
The old media empire is Trump’s primary nemesis, make no mistake about it.
Note to the media: You are not relevant!
lol
Perhaps the Washington “insiders” should realize why America elected an 800 pound gorilla for a President. If the power mongers do not respond properly, they will find that hell has no wrath like an electorate scorned.
Yes, undoubtedly. You may even write it 5001 times, or more.
No, but congress is a whole other animal
“There’s comparatively little in place to pressure lawmakers to follow Trump’s lead.”
They never heard of primaries? Did they ever hear the name Eric Cantor?
For the most part Trump can build the wall and enforced immigration laws without anyone's help.

Ah ... so says ‘JULIE BYKOWICZ’ of MSN.
Well, I guess that settles it then!
“If I write “I’m 180 pounds” 5000 times, will it happen?”
If you do it with a 100 lb piece of chalk, it will.
The media is hoping that someone can drown out President Trump, because they have utterly failed to do so.
Sucks to be them.
She thinks the Trump election is just a first, and aberrant, political event. But the pendulum started to reverse some time ago. She’s willfully ignoring the real mandate of the 2010 and 2014 mid-term elections, which will now begin to be implemented.
This doesn't make any sense for mainstream dems. The "outsiders", Sanders and Stein, have been bought out. The party elite want to cling to power. It's better for everyone if under Trump's presidency BOTH parties develop new leadership.
JMHO
I was polled on my landline by Quinnepac (sp?) a few weeks before the election. Yes it does happen to Conservatives now and then.
It was straight-up election matters. Party, do you follow politics and the news, how likely to vote, who are you voting for, how firm are you for that candidate. Maybe 20 questions in all, no push-polling or even any questions about how happy I am with the current President or Congress.
Except for the fact that he WON THE PRESIDENCY, The voters expect him to start actually enforcing the Laws, along with a myriad of other things to MAGA. The DC Bourgeoisie will run headlong into the Will of the People, if they don't get with the program. Get out the popcorn!
