You really should limit yourself to one bullshit vanity posting on the NEWS forum a day. Really.

There
IS a second option.
" A Trump veto takes away the pressure that has intimidated the Republicans for decades. "
The GOP Has a Nuclear Option ... ... A proposal is being pushed by some Senate Republicans that would seek to ensure that a House-passed bill could be passed intact by only a simple majority of senators.
How would that work?
Well, the vice president, of course, is the president of the Senate.
The thinking goes that if the Senate parliamentarian ruled that parts of the bill cant be folded into budget reconciliation, Vice President Mike Pence could simply overrule that.
Sen. Rand Paul wants the White House to make that commitment now:That alone, I think, would break the logjam, he told reporters Thursday.
Perhaps, but thats not all it would break.
This would be the executive branchs changing the rules of the upper legislative body.
Filibusters could be broken, perhaps in any circumstance, at the whim of the vice president.
In honor of a certain former veep, that would be a BFD.
In comment number 1 of The GOP Has a Nuclear Option ...
... "Under the Budget Act of 1974, which is what governs reconciliation, it is the presiding officer, the vice president of the United States, who rules what is permissible on reconciliation and what is not, Cruz said.
And that is a conversation I have been having with a number of my colleagues. ...

RE:”
A Trump veto cannot be overridden and the Lib-Demo- Rhinos know it. No mistake, this terrifies them, and no amount of involuntary elitist chastening can change this. Yes, we are on to you, and it just doesn't matter anymore. “ Are you counting on a Trump veto anytime soon?

Has Republican intimidation been sincere, or simply an excuse to go along with the same interests that move the Democrats? ". We will see. If they are not sincere, they must be replaced. There are plenty of the GOPe that need to be removed by the 2018 voters as doing our part to drain the swamp.

Well the Republicans mostly ARE Democrats so if the Official Democrats go along, a veto can definitely be overridden.

I would like to be chastened. Is there a line?

It’s spelled RINO, acronym for “Republican in Name Only.”
A Rhino is an animal, so let’s not insult them.
