There wasn't a dramatic public break or an exact moment it happened. But step by step, Senate Republicans are turning their backs on President Donald Trump.

They defeated an Obamacare repeal bill despite Trump's pleas. They're ignoring his Twitter demands that they get back to work on the repeal measure. They dissed the White House budget director, defended the attorney general against the president's attacks and passed veto-proof sanctions on Russia over his administration's objections.

Slowly???  The swamp creatures LOVE their swamp! NO draining allowed!

The 'establishment' vowed to take down Trump even before he was sworn in. To me, their deliberate obstruction is rather obvious and it's not just taking place in the Senate.  Those in the House are just as guilty.

Those guys walked in backwards from the start. They've never tried to meet Trump straight on so that they could even have the opportunity to turn their backs.

Absolutely!

From the replies to this it's obvious the forum mental midgets want Rump to rule as king and dictator.

NOPE!  Just want him to unleash unshirted HELL on the establishment with every tool at his disposal and that is currently NOT happening!

The jury is still out but every hour of inaction moves the needle toward you being right.

As if the republican and democrat parties don't stink on ice in the eyes of the public, as well.

If the DC cabal's inevitable collapse is expedited as a result of the current circus then I'll consider it all good.

Maybe Trump needs to do a Michael Corleone and take care of all the family business in one fell swoop.  At the same moment, he could do the following:

Take out North Korea
Fire Mueller and whoever wants to resign over that
Get rid of all executive-ordered Obamacare subsidies, including those for congress

I don't think Trump is the establishment, but he fears it too much.  I'd like him to boldly go where no president has gone before, but if he doesn't I will not be disappointed.  So long as he is better than Hillary Clinton would have been, I have no regrets about my vote.  So far, he has not crossed that bar.

THAT is exactly my position as well!

You really need to cut off the cable TV.

It's way overpriced, your blood pressure will come back down, and you'll sleep better too.

Too slowly...I fear that by the time the water boils it will be too late for them to hop out of the pot.

They hated Trump from the start.  Slowly turning their backs on him is a ridiculous statement.  They've never had any respect for him.

They have been more of a disaster in the first 7 months than Trump has.

I usually have you on ignore, but someone else quoted you. 

The replies on this post reveal that most people here are fully aware that the Senate has been more of a failure than Trump has, by far.

For you to call other people 'mental midgets' is the height of irony.

No, this is Trump's fault.  Had he not purposefully burned every bridge, and rubbed peoples' noses in it, there would might at least be compromise in adversity. His own actions have painted him into an ineffective corner. And there he will remain.

[SunkenCiv]

They may think so, or it may just be yet another media smear, but over time, he'll prevail.

Seriously?  Then you don't know much about NYC real estate development.  A successful NYC real estate developer is by definition part of the establishment.

Of course, in this case, it's the North East liberal establishment he's a part of.

What I would like is for him to work with members of his own party instead of taking to Twitter to b!tch and moan about them.

Unfortunately Trump is an uneducated moron who actually believes he should have dictatorial powers.
