Good observation.

One thing the Democrats have been really good at, is balkanizing America. Even if it takes luring a large hunk of the country much further left than any sane person would countenance. They believe in dividing to conquer, and they don’t really care what was spoiled as long as they get spoils.

The poor Republicans have been left as the suffering servants in this picture, trying to buffer the impact.

If — big fat IF — Donald can somehow short circuit this destructive demagoguery, perhaps by means of showing an overwhelming popular mandate, THEN he might be able to drag the Democrat half of the government, kicking and screaming, back into some zone of sanity. Because in the end, even venal politics ends up being sucking up to the one with the power. If it’s Donald, now he calls the shots.

Let’s not be too hasty to judge Donald’s deals till we find out where the dog is and where the tail is, in the deal. It might not be where we fear!

All he really his to do is drag his own idiots back across party lines.

We should still have the majority.

People want things to get done. Trump will make a play for Congress, and the people will give it to him.

Then stand back...

That’s what primaries are for, figuring that out BEFORE we elect someone.
