Trump will have to fight tooth and nail over everything, especially in the Senate since there is only a two vote margin.
The dems will delay, delay and even do more delaying because that is all they can do.
On major votes, Trump will need 60 Senate votes, so he is going to have to compromise or not see something pass. It is just the way it is.
Mr. Schumer. My government cannot write social security checks for retirees in your state until I have a treasurer who can attest to the funds being there and transferred to the right accounts. And I am not sending on the commission for my treasurer until I can send on the commissions for State, Defense, EPA and Energy and....
You can explain to your voters why they are not getting their checks. Or I can. Your choice.
Sure, the Dems can delay, the twin morons, McLame and Linda Gramnesty can shall throw in with the Dem s, but it no longer matters all that much.
I am not being naive and think that what Trump says happens. I know Trump has no control over it. It is all in the Turtles hands. He has to play hardball and not cower to the Dems. If they want 30 hours, then make it 10 hours a day for 3 days. ( Now with the 30 hours , is it for the whole committee ? If so, it is usually split between sides, so that would be 15 hours per side. A side does not have to use all the time allocated to it.)
It is all in scheduling. That is why the first 3 should be Att Gen, Sec Defense ( though they can deny that by not granting him a waiver , since that requires 60 votes ) and Sec of State. They are not the same committees and can be done concurrently. These are the 3 most important appointments. The rest can wait until March.
10 of those demonRAT cock-a-roaches are up for re-election this cycle in red states. How much of an example do they want to become {in a 140 character tweet from POTUS}?
60 Senate votes, you can bet that schumer and his minions will be digging up dirt on all those agreeing with Trump and blackmailing them
