Trump had a majority in both houses of Congress for his first 2 years and got very little done except a tax cut that will expire soon.
Mitch the Bitch told us Trump couldn’t do anything without 60 votes. Paul Ryan kept the House on recess during the most critical first 100 days.
See, this is what Desantis appears to be - a mitch the bitch / paul ryno type establishment republican and that is very concerning.
That’s more an indictment of neocon scumbags like Ryan and turtle.
I live in New York State. Despite the majority of the counties in the State being red, our State Legislature has, for several years now, had a 2-1 Democrat majority. We've always had a Democrat Governor, except for George Pataki, who was a fluke. Since Republican Alphonse D'Amato retired from the U.S. Senate in 1999, we've had Democrat Senators in Congress, and the State always gives its electoral votes to the Democrat candidate...simply because of the downstate counties, and New York City. They rule over the rest of the State. Florida is lucky in that it has consistently had Republican Governors since Jeb Bush was elected.
Like every Republican President before him, Trump was faced with Republican Congresses that sat on their hands and did nothing, and usually rolled over for the Democrats like McCarthy just did on the debt ceiling.
It doesn't matter if Republicans are in power, they never actually fight for the things they should. They aren't cohesive or loyal to anything but themselves. They are backstabbers. The only time they know you, is when they want money for their campaigns, and your vote. Once they get it, they abandon you, kick you in the teeth by voting along with the Democrats on massive spending Bills that have everything, including the kitchen sink in them. Then when the next election cycle rolls around, they're back again begging for money and your vote once again. Most of the Republicans in the two sessions of Congress that President Trump was stuck with, weren't loyal. In the Senate, where Republicans had a tenuous majority, all it takes is a handful of Rinos like McCain and the rest, to fight you on everything. It was McCain who was the deciding vote to get rid of ObamaCare, and he voted against eliminating it.
Republican House members gave McCarthy the nod based on certain criteria. Do you really think they will vote to oust him over any shortcomings? He still hasn't released the Jan. 6th videos as he promised. Republicans are gutless wonders. They have been for a very long time. Whenever they've had a majority, they've squandered it. I think the last time they actually took advantage of a majority was when they passed their Contract with America during Bill Clinton's Presidency. They did nothing after Gore tried to steal Florida during the 2000 election. That was over 20 years ago. They've done nothing ever since. When they are in power, they mostly hold investigation hearings that never result in anyone being held accountable for anything.
