".....Trump gave Democrats what they wanted at a time when Congress needed to raise the debt ceiling to avoid financial default, ....

It is not possible to face national default - the FEDS bring in much more cash each month than is needed to pay the interest on the national debt. IF DEFAULT were to occur it would be Trump's fault based on his decision to NOT pay the national debt interest FIRST.

The nation's debt has to be paid first - we went through this scare tactic with Barry Insane.

Blah blah blah - if Ryan/McConnell and the rest of the GOPe/RINOs would get their act together things would be different. They have forced Trump to take “extraordinary measures”...

Trump's new best friends. He calls them "Chuck and Nancy,"

It's a natural alliance. I think Trump's a big spender at heart.

Brit Hume said Trump was rolled by Nancy and Chuck because they won’t be behind him on the wall.

Our great and glorious Maximum Leader, DJT, has destroyed the Bushes, the Clintons, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, the GOPe, DNC and is working on stomping the Chamber of Commerce. The political order is crumbling under his massive golden pompadour and I’m loving it!

Then Thursday morning, at Pelosi's request, Trump posted a reassuring tweet, "For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about -- No action!"

Maybe Trump's sentence wasn't comlete. It should have read...

"For all of those (DACA) that are concerned about your status during the 6 month period, you have nothing to worry about -- No action...during this time! But once the 6 months is up...you better be heading home"

To me it’s now PERFECTLY CLEAR what the Republican Leadership plan has been:

1) Deny Trump any major victories (particularly ending Obamacare and the wall). Hopefully, at that point Trump’s supporters will start giving up on him...and that is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL for the next step - which is removal from office.

2) Hope that Mueller comes up with that smoking gun. If Trump is first weakened, then consider moving in for the kill, Impeachment.

3) If the above is not possible, but Trump is still weakened, even a little, then Primary him out in 2020.

What really gives their plan away is the Wall. The Republicans have a HUGE MAJORITY in the House, the Wall costs next to nothing (by government standards), and possibly nothing if they go after Mexico for funding. Yet the Republican leadership won’t even consider it...passing the Wall, at least in the House should have taken all of 5 minutes. Now the Senate could well be tougher...and might even stop the Wall in Conference. But the Wall would be a BARGAINING CHIP, and could well be traded for things like E-Verify, ending birthright citizenship, immigration limits.

But no...the Republicans refuse to even consider it...which means that they want to be able to go their voters (i.e., us) and say: “We told you so, Trump was never going to get you the Wall. He lied to you, it’s time for new blood in the White House.”

The bottom line is that TRUMP was to look ineffective and useless. However, that just changed, now the ones looking ineffective and useless are the Republican leaders in Congress - with Ryan’s Speakership in jeopardy.

What happened is much of the GOP did not support Trump. Trump has no choice to get anything done for the American people unless he reaches anywhere he can. Blame the rotten position on McConnell and Ryan to start with. Then the list of GOPe is huge.

Trump Makes 'Friends' Outside GOP

You mean other than his Cabinet?

They are not your friends, any more than Ryan or McConnell are. The sooner you realize that the better.
