I'm afraid they won't respond to the risk of losing – they'll only respond to actually losing and, of course, it's too late then.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504478996320176849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974091675931753598.post-17238423650924646482017-05-17T09:45:36.775-04:002017-05-17T09:45:36.775-04:00The Republican leaders are cowards (their reaction...The Republican leaders are cowards (their reactions to Trump ever since he started running for President show this) who put party before nation and personal political interests before party. There isn't some particular higher level of Trumpian outrageousness that will spur McConnell and the rest into action. Rather, they will do something about Trump when the political costs (risk of losing the next election) for <i>not</i> doing so exceed the political costs for doing so.<br /><br />Trump's behavior will not turn them against him. Only continued escalation of pressure from their constituents can do that. They need to keep getting more angry phone calls and shouting matches with enraged people in their town halls.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974091675931753598.post-37538275815476223402017-05-17T09:27:57.611-04:002017-05-17T09:27:57.611-04:00Also :-) I really should stop being so damn ambigu...Also :-) I really should stop being so damn ambiguous :-)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504478996320176849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974091675931753598.post-86536698445345300522017-05-17T09:26:31.112-04:002017-05-17T09:26:31.112-04:00We're in a completely no-win situation.

Yeah, healthcare's not been eliminated (yet!), he hasn't privatized medicare (yet!) and it's just by the grace of Bast that we're not at war somewhere (yet!).

Your language is sort of ambiguous...<br /><br />Seriously though, I was worried when President Trump was elected because I thought that with Congress being Republican, they were going to be passing stuff at breakneck speed. Then, when that didn't look to be happening, I was afraid they were moving behind the scenes while we all paid attention to the scandals. <br /><br />I don't want a corrupt President, but if it keeps them from repealing health care, throwing out the progressive income tax, and starting another war, I will sit back and watch the fireworks for a while.
