"Great idea! Hamstring Trump with a Democrat majority in both houses."

Like Obama was Hamstrung by a Republican majority in both houses?

Staggers the imagination how many people are smoking banana peels and huffing whippet canisters. Total denial.

Demoncrats have infiltrated the Republican party. Capiche?

They need to be removed by whatever means necessary.

Obamacare was passed with only democrat votes - not a single GOP member from either house voted for it. Once the GOP gained a majority in the house in 2010, Obama has been mostly unable to push anything else. He has gone around congress with EO’s, some of which have been shot down by the federal courts. The GOP did not have a majority in the Senate until after the 2014 election. Before that, a few of the GOP senators — who are roundly excoriated around here these days — managed to use the limited power afforded to the minority party to block much of Obama’s agenda. Unfortunately the GOP Senate Majority Leader and his cabal — who hates the Tea Party senators as much as folks around here do — capitulated rather than choosing to fight Obama on several key items that could have been victories.

All that said, anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention over the past 30 or 40 years should be able to recognize one key difference between the so-called diversity of the democrats and the so-called “small-tent” republicans: The democrats in congress vote lock-step in unity against a republican president, while the republicans are much more inclined to cross the aisle and vote in a “bipartisan” fashion.

So go ahead and burn it down by all means and vote them out now (which by definition means handing over majority — possibly supermajority — status to the dems) and see what happens. If you give the dems a ONE-VOTE majority in each house, then a president Trump gets NOTHING done unless he decides to declare that he is really a democrat again.
