An Effective Trump Presidency Requires Republican Control of Congress
American Thinker ^ | 05/23/2024 | Steve McCann

Because virtually all the polling firms publish essentially the same results, there is little doubt that if an honest election were held today Donald Trump would handily defeat Joe Biden in the Electoral College vote. Further, as long as an increasingly senescent, unpopular, and compromised Joe Biden remains the Democrat nominee, Trump should win at least 270-290 electoral votes (270 needed to win the presidency) in November despite the inevitable Democrat duplicity, lawfare, and voter fraud and machinations.

If faced with the potential scenario of not being able to replace Biden, the Democrats are going to single-mindedly focus on races in both the House and Senate. Not only to block Trump’s agenda as well as his judicial and cabinet appointees, but to reprise their “Impeachment Follies” of 2018-2020. Losing to Donald Trump again would unleash a virulent strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome. When combined with control of one or both houses of Congress, there would be four years of unmitigated national chaos.

While so many are focusing on the presidential sweepstakes, it cannot be forgotten that without control of both Houses of Congress there can be no overarching rollback of the disastrous policies of the Biden Administration and the Democrats. Which raises the question: what is currently happening with congressional races throughout the country?

Five recent polls revealed that when Americans were asked which party they prefer to control Congress, 45.4% favored Democrats and 44% favored Republicans.   Despite the ongoing unfathomable financial and societal chaos, Democrats are still viewed favorably by a substantial segment of the electorate.

Control of the Senate will be key to what happens after November 5, 2024.  As the Republican caucus will still include two implacable anti-Trumpers (Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins), the Republicans need to win at a minimum three seats

Those tax cuts were probably the most important achievement of his tenure. What was annoying is he had to approve of the Republican spending budget to get those cuts. Still worth it, but man how is the GOP any different than Democrats?

Nope. It requires non-swamp dwellers who will stand up against business as usual. That’s not the Republican party yet.

A very lovely thought. But not at all practical nowadays. We have no choice but to make lemonades out of lemons 🍋

You just answered your own question in your post. We would not even get a tax cut from Congress had Democrats been in Control. There’s the difference right there, albeit a small difference, but a difference nonetheless.

You are 100% wrong. That's why we are now vassals of China. You are deluded. You are radicalized by the uniparty.
