Screw Trump's agenda.
People around here voted for our congressman to represent us, not Trump's agenda.
And again. Our legislative process is intentionally designed to work at a snail's pace. Crying that congress isn't carrying out the king's demands less than a month after Trump took office is pathetic. Our founders recognized how dangerously erratic populism was and made sure we had a deliberative body to tame those erratic impulses.
Frankly I think Trump supporters should stop pretending to care about our representative republic, cowboy up and start openly demanding that congress just be dissolved. You can all have a congressional dissolution march in DC.
I agree, somewhat. Those GOP Congressmen elected through TEA party and conservative advocacy were sent to DC to repeal Obamacare. Then the big whine was that it would never get past the veto. We'd have settled for them neutering it by stripping it of funds and eliminating the penalty as a temporary stopgap.
They not only didn't, but they didn't have the legislation written to dump that abortion of healthcare when they got the chance.
Watch the Dems. One mass shooting and the gun control bills hit the hopper--they have this stuff on the shelf, waiting for the moment to try to push it.
The GOPe has been sitting on their stinky thumbs, and going to cocktail parties instead of getting ready for the day...no wonder nothing seems to get done, even when they have the chance to do it.
My disgust with Trump stems from his personal conduct, always has. Politically, many of his stated goals were well in line with those I wanted, and much was in line with Ted Cruz's positions as well before the primaries. Many of those positions remain the same, a situation which has given the most ardent Trump supporters the illusion that Cruz is backing Trump. He isn't so much as backing common items on the agenda, and doing what he would have tried to do. Now the GOPe has to put up or shut up.
