I also think it's a real stretch to think Trump can do anything to get Republicans in line. The recent ObamaCare vote in the Senate told us everything anyone needed to know about where the GOP stands.
America wants a stable presidency.
Anyone who doesn't see and hear the sirens sounding for the importance of electing non-establishment politicians to the Senate in 2018 isn't paying attention.
There are only 9 Senate Republican seats up for re-election next year. One should be an easy win to replace Jeff Flake. The other 8 I'm still looking at.
There are 25 Democrats up for re-election and this is exactly where the target should be set: Picking off as many of them as possible with pro-Trump replacements to take a solid 61 seat majority in the U.S. Senate.
The only way the game changes at this point is having pro-Trump majorities in both houses of Congress at this point and have them completely steam-roll over the RINO's and Democrats to do what needs to be done to right the ship of state.
This bovine fecal matter about both parties "working together" was nuked by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi long ago. There is no "working together" with a political party that's hell bent on destroying America (Democrats) or with a Republican Establishment group of RINO's who "go along to get along" with them.
Make America Great Again? Take America Back Again!
