Had Trump; vetoed this POS Bill and then had that veto overturned, Trump would have been well and truly F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D/over/done! He would be labeled as "weak", stupid, and far worse! And that's not all...many of the wobblies would either have stayed home ( far more than probably shall do, come November ) and NEVER bothered to vote ever again.
You ARE a political naif.
President Reagan, the "true CONSERVATIVE" and an hero of Conservatism to most here, if not all of us, "caved" on many things and did NOT have to face the same level of hostility, FROM HIS OWN TEAM AND PARTY, as Trump has; not to mention all of the constant garbage from the MSM, Dems ( not all of whom were as stupid and insane as that group in Congress is now ! )and neither was he suffering through an "investigation" of his and his family's entire lives.
Your post if filled to the brim with specious assumptions, day dreams, and puerlie pie-in-the-sky imaginings.
And HELL NO (!), the GOP does NOT face "....a Bleak House ( have you ever read Dicken's BLEAK HOUSE? The way you posted that, made me think of that novel, NOT quite what you meant though...I realized in the next second, but you should NEVER have capitalized the word "bleak"! ) and Senate"!
Stop swallowing, as whole cloth, MSM and GOPE propaganda!
You are freaking hilarious, as I haven't watched any MSM or GOPe propaganda news in years. I haven't even watched Fox News since the Megyn Kelly debate ambush. I have a subscription to OANN and read our news forum, you should try that and you might not fly off the handle so much.
I believe a vast number of voters would support a principled patriot in spite of anything scheming political hacks might advise our President to do. I feel his own honest counsel is the best.
