Knowing the ins and outs of the budget reconciliation process is not paramount—he has others to know that.
Heck, even the GOP doesn’t understand it, or they would have acted on it in the past two years, whether Obama would veto or not.
The GOP is finally acting because of Trump, not in spite of him.
I think we can agree that Trump is a force of nature, and anathema to the corruption stranglehold in DC. I care less about how much he knows and more about how much he will accomplish.
Other,lesser lights can deal with the details. But Trump knows details as well, and they will not be able to buffalo him like they think..
I agree with all that. But I’m just saying part of being a successful president will be to maximize the things he’s really good at and minimize the things he’s not. When he starts saying that the replacement bill for Obamacare is going to be ready for passage by the end of the month, he’s saying something that is not and will not be true. You can yell at congress and say they suck and need to do their jobs, but this is not building an office building and yelling at the contractor to work around the clock to install the windows. There are steps to this that will take time. There are 52 Republican senators and one of them is Rand Paul who has his own ideas and already has bucked the system once this year. If he loses a couple more of these guys, he will get NONE of what he wants. He’s not the King. Other than launching missiles there’s nothing he can do without the congress. Easy to say, well then we’ll primary them and they’ll lose in 2018. Fine, but that’s two years with nothing accomplished when you supposedly had the congress on your side.
