The people are behind Trump. The congress is not.

The GOP is a bunch of worthless weasels.

The Republicans are frauds. It’s important for us to tweet to these RINOs who oppose Trump and post on their Facebooks. Just posting here won’t show that we’re against them.

Who expected any different? Republican leadership by and large has tried to undercut and sabotage him from the primaries forward to the present. Vulnerable members of the House and Congress will need to be aggressively targeted by their constituencies to get anything done. It’s been difficult to get to this point, and it’s not going to get any easier.

McConnell needs some heavy duty ass kicking. Trump should fire his wifey.

First, the GOP must die.

Everything else comes after that.

They are so used to doing nothing, they can't figure out how to do anything. They're still afraid of the media.

It will be fun to watch. BTW, I live in KY. I at least have a LITTLE say regarding what he does.

Too many Democrats in R jerseys were not Cantorized.

Trump can’t do it alone.

I expected many more districts to do what mine did and dump their weasel.

Unless many more districts Cantorize their weasel the Uniparty will prevail.

This is both true and a grave danger to our republic. We’re not MEANT to be “ruled.” We’re meant to be REPRESENTED.

Trump needs to dump Priebus, put Pence back in reserve, make Bannon his chief of staff with unified power, and go over the head of Ryan and McConnell to the GOP base to force them to act.

The only thing we won was an election. Now the hard part starts.

Here’s the related article that Drudge featured last night, without getting any traction give all that was going on:

Limbaugh getting to it now—how the GOP is going to be Trump’s biggest obstacle.

And Trump can work with that. Being the wielder of the national credit card, Trump can slash spending to less than revenue, pay down debt with the difference, send debatable laws to the Supreme Court, refuse to enforce Obamacare failure-to-comply fines, eviscerate departments to creatively “comply” with laws, and threaten to do things he wants if Congress doesn’t agree to facilitate other things he wants.

Suggestion: there’s an exemption to the 922(o) post-’86 machinegun ban - Trump could tell Congress “I’m going to sign an EO authorizing all non-felon non-mentally-ill citizens to buy new machineguns, if you don’t pass ‘national reciprocity’ and ‘hearing protection act’ within 30 days”. (HINT.)

I so truly despise the republican party! This is exactly why I only voted for President Trump and not for any other republican. What do republicans ever do other than to bend over constantly for the asshat democrats? To hell with both scumbag parties.

Yes, as usual, McConnell is one of the principal impediments to getting anything done that benefits the American people. He is a post turtle, but a very resilient one. The challenge to all of us is to figure out what will finally get him in gear or out of office. We need a national contest to find that answer.

Exactly, I’m glad someone else has said it. They aren’t doing anything to support Trump at all! He is taking all of the bullets and no one so much as gets on tv to defend him. The only time these fools find the camera is when they disagree with him on something. For crying out loud they can’t even get his cabinet members a VOTE! How in the world are they going to get his SC pick confirmed? On Obamacare, NOTHING! Taxes, NO IDEAS. Democrats are going to end up pushing immigration bills before they Republicans ever do. Even on infrastructure the democrats are talking and the Republicans are hiding. No wonder people were saying they were just obstructionist, they have NO IDEA how to govern! Now is the chance you have be begging for for a decade and what have you done?
