It remains to be seen how it will play out politically with 48 Democrats in the Senate plus RINOs like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Bob Corker, John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, Thad Cochran, Oren Hatch and a few others.
We’ve all learned the hard way that just because you have an “R” after your name doesn’t mean you vote for conservative principles and positions.
For example, from the inception of Republican control of Congress in 2011 onward Boehner, Ryan and McConnell never permitted a single hearing on the constitutional definition of natural born citizenship.
Congress has never dealt with anyone like Trump. You may have noticed that the Establishment opposed him (when they weren’t laughing at the absurdity of him imagining he could win)?
Trump has something Congress doesn’t have: a huge, active and enthusiastic backing. Surely you just *happened* to miss the stories that have already been written about the hacks’ terror of being the victim of a Trump Tweet. There have been some delicious cartoons along the same lines. Conservatives have seen lots of this kind of thing; not surprised you’ve missed it.
Perhaps, since you are so good with numbers, you could tell me how many Dem vs GOP Senate seats are up for election in 2018. Just curious.
