True fiscal conservatives like Dave Brat & Rand Paul are getting fewer and fewer in congress.
If Trump would have vetoed the gargantuan spending bill, I am certain the happy to spend other people’s money congress had enough votes to over-ride the veto. A moral victory does not put any cash in anyone’s pockets.
And it gets worse. If Trump had vetoed the bill, he becomes less likable to the big spenders and less likely to get any of his remaining agenda passed through congress.
I recommend Trump find a way to somehow become a dictator and then he will be able to make the base happy every time. May be get some pointers from Kim Jong UN or the Mullahs in Iran.
Aside from tax reform, exactly what big agenda items have passed this Congress?
He got rolled and we got screwed.
