Well said. A battle has been won. The war continues.
What will be learned from the recent battle?
1) Most voters did not vote for Trump ... nor for Clinton. They voted for the lesser of two evils. The 35% who voted enthusiastically for Trump should be humbled and learn from that.
New battles arise on several fronts.
2) Short term, what will Obama do? Obama wants a legacy for himself. If he were smart he would push Congress to re-patriate the trillions held overseas to avoid taxes. That would greatly benefit the economy and give Obama a positive legacy.
It’s good for the country, even if not what Obama deserves.
3) The left previously argued for ignoring the constitution and placing massive power in the Presidency. This is an opportune time to educate the left on the value of the constitution and limited government.
4) The Senate will not learn from the loss of Sen Kirk, (allegedly R) IL, who was the most anti-Trump of all Republicans anywhere. Both Senate Dems and McConnell types will obstruct good parts of Trumps agenda.
We need to start now to identify which bad Senators (regardless of party) are vulnerable in 2018 and focus on them. We need to start now to build potential candidates and organizations to run against the bad Senators. (True of the House also. But much more true of the Senate.)
The Fed Government is so messed up Trump will need support in 2018 to continue the draining of the swamp. This is not a one and done situation.
5) Trump is a negotiator. By definition a negotiator gives up a little in one area to gain even more in another area. When Trump negotiates we should consider who is getting the better end of the compromise and support compromises that are in our favor.
Excellent.
BTW the Latino Outreach (of which you have been part) seems somewhat successful. Count me in (much more than I have been).
