Party’s are still part of the system. Even though yes, they devolve into corruption. It’s not going to happen, but I think it should, and I think Trump bringing the GOPe into his senior team will be the undoing of his administration.
Well, it’s obvious the GOP has to be used just as it was used to win the 2016 election. But the GOP, especially the GOPe, isn’t to be trusted. But it looks like Trump, like Reagan, is going to have to deal with these folks in order to get his legislative agenda passed through Congress.
Trump, like Reagan, is a master negotiator. Reagan was a master political negotiator, learning he could get 70% of what he wanted if he could give the opposition 30% so they could feel good about it. But the 30% was never an essential to Reagan, so he was giving away a non-essential. But Reagan also felt that when his 70% produced the anticipated good results he would also get his 30%. What a guy.
Trump is a business negotiator which may be different than political negations, I don’t know. Anyway he and we are in for a fight. May God help us.
