“if elected, can he use that talent to go over the heads of a recalcitrant obstructing congress (regardless of whether its Dem or GOP) to get stuff done.”
I think he could and would. Imagine him cutting out a Pelosi, Reid, Boehner or McCarthy or McConnell and bearing down on them being obstructive and dimwitted. He would not allow them to hide in the herd. He would pull them out and verbally dismember them in the ways the interview covers.
This could easily be abused, and become an evil. But it would be effective, and move the pusillanimous herd animals of Congress right along the chute. Some of them definitely should go to slaughter.
It could indeed be abused. I am less concerned he will win than I am WHEn he wins and has success it creates a guy named Benito.
