Trump Dumps the Do-Nothing Congress

by Patrick J. Buchanan

September 08, 2017

Donald Trump is president today because he was seen as a doer not a talker. Among the most common compliments paid him in 2016 was, “At least he gets things done!”

And it was exasperation with a dithering GOP Congress, which had failed to enact his or its own agenda, that caused Trump to pull the job of raising the debt ceiling away from Republican contractors Ryan & McConnell, and give it to Pelosi & Schumer.

Hard to fault Trump. Over seven months, Congress showed itself incapable of repealing Obamacare, though the GOP promised this as its first priority in three successive elections.

My question is though - we railed  against Obama acting like a dictator with his EO's, so do we support three separate but equal branches of govt or not?

I don't agree with what Trump is doing here, but at what point are Ryan and McConnell going to quick ducking, grousing, evading and waffling? When will they stand up and provide leadership instread of pointing to Trump's supposed failings as the excuse for not fixing the problem?

Trump seems to have no principles and many character flaws, so why not get some good legislation together and put it on his desk? He has no principles and just wants to 'get things done' so why not use that as an opportunity?

I sense that that was one of the prime motivations for him having done so.

The message to Republicans is clear:
If you guys don't like this, then YOU do something, get Republican-based legislation passed. Work with me, and I'll work with you.

Otherwise, sit on your butts and shut up.
You're good for little else, anyway.
