And I don’t think Ryan or McConnell care a bit for the Trump agenda. This is their opportunity to stop it right here. The Senate was impossible before. Now there is no way for Trump to get anything...even nominees through it. They will insist on open borders and amnesty andthat he leave the Swamp be...if he wants anything.
Trump’s best move now is to go for stalemate for the next year - completely bind up government action on any major issue and govern by executive action on deregulation and man the border heavily for the next year. Use executive fiat because Congress will be impossible. Punt on the budget or anything requiring legislative action. Or trade DACA for something big. Let the economy help him. He’s going to have to fight a ton of rearguard battles.
Obama was quick to remind us he had a pen..so does Trump..but Trump has a rabid foaming at the mouth media and obstruction within his own party.Obama had the fawning media and the uniparty to push his agenda..It is going to be a rough few years
.not the stuff of #MAGA
“Trump’s best move now is to go for stalemate for the next year - “
Trump and his band of deplorables best next move is to go scorched earth on the swamp. Expose and alinksy every last rino and democrat until they resign or commit suicide.
So, it looks like Jones won by 13,000 votes or 1 percent. This is a lot less than the 10 percent lead the Fox Poll showed yesterday and a lot more than the Emerson College poll showed Moore ahead by (8 points). I suspect that Jones’ narrow winning margin was a combination of four things: 1) Shelby’s totally unnecessary public statement over the weekend that he was voting write-in; 2) the fact that the write-ins totaled 21,000 or far more than the ultimate margin for Jones; 3) the fact that Moore idiotically spent the final weekend of the campaign at the Army-Navy game in Philadelphia; and 4) the idiotic granting of the vote to Alabama felons by the Republican governor. She got no thanks for it from the felons or the community they melt into.
