The naïve assumption President Trump was a Ronald Reagan is now over. His signing of Porkulous2.0 is proof he does not have the budget fight in him. The continued fear of shutting down the gummit has the Party petrified even though there is not a shred of evidence it damages their chances of losing seats and there is a strong argument it gains. The one thing which defines a President is his budget fight which was a clear loss to the Dems as they got everything they wanted and more in a bloated bill Barak minus the military spending would have signed.
It is ALWAYS about - follow the Money $$
I called in to one of our local radio shows Thursday. The Host is a financial guy - the stock market update I posted here a few weeks back is from his WEB site. I was on hold for a while as he has regular guests, one of whom is a conservative local Houston Councilman. I commented on the upcoming Texas Primary (early March) and that I was very happy to see a Primary opponent to my local "republican" congressman. At that point I was unable to add any additional comments.
The Amusing portion followed my comment. The Financial guy , in a nice way addresses Johnny " Porkulous" Culberson's voting record vs. his B.S. when on the radio with the financial guy.
The local republican councilman defended Johnny " Porkulous" Culberson as a nice guy.
The moral of the story - "Republican Elected officials" are a private club. We pay for their club privileges, but we do NOT get to go inside and have a say.
With the Primaries upon us I would urge everyone to vote out the INCUMBENT
This weekends' lineup looks VERY entertaining
