Two years of gridlock.
Nothing will get done but the alternative could be worse.
“Nothing will get done but the alternative could be worse.”
When you have a pen and a phone there is a lot you can do.
I'm willing to trade gridlock, which not always a bad thing, for 3 more Senate seats. Ginsberg is not long for this world, and Breyer is hinting at retirement, plus all the appellate judges in waiting. The Dims can flail about with their impeachment dreams, while Pres. Trump and the Senate put in place Constitutional judges that will change the direction of this nation for a long long time.
Plus, Trump won't be steam-rolled by a dim House. He has the veto pen. Also, the Senate and House bills have to be reconciled before new legislation even gets to his desk. Yes, a dim House can slow down his agenda/policies, but he has the once dim claim, "Turn of a pen. Cool". Think Executive Orders!
Personally, I've rarely had a problem with gridlock. The less they can do in DC, the less they can infringe on our rights, liberties, and culture. As for fegov shutdowns, I believe Pres. Trump will point out, "Other than fedgov employees (who get back pay) is this affecting you in any way? It shows what I've been saying all along that the fedgov Swamp is so bloated most Americans don't even notice the difference when the sign says, Temporarily Out-Of-Service".
