It is possible that Pence would be a better President. Trump is too much about Trump more than he is about the job.
The fact that he did not fire Comey immediately, and has not fired Mueller, and refuses to do massive purge of Obama people who are actively sabotaging him, shows me that Trump does not have the balls I thought he did.
He is on the right track. But Trump has to understand that he is never going to have the support of Congress or the GOPe no matter how much he buckles and compromises. What Trump should do is to ignore them.
Trump should do like Obama, just ignore Congress and go full steam ahead. Invite Putin to the WH. Hug and kiss him on the floor of Congress.
Congress, including and especially the GOP, is out to torpedo Trump. And with that, they are attempting to teach the American people that they have no power or influence in Washington D.C. politics. The politicians want the American people, and their proxy Trump, out of politics altogether.
The only way Trump can succeed is to steamroll over them. Because they are going to block every single thing he tries to do. This situation has evolved beyond just Trump.
Congress wants to teach the American people a lesson, that they cannot buck the system. The politicians are declaring a coup against America as a whole. They are declaring, "We are in charge!" "We own America!" "Nothing can stop us!"
Especially, we will not let some unwashed stupid 'voters' stop us. To hell with them. We do whatever we want to do, when ever we want to do it, and to hell with everyone else.
Trump has brought to the fore a war by Congress on the American people. Congress wants to rule and dominate America by force, regardless of any silly 'law' or the stupid will of the people. Trump is the representative of that war. Congress believes that if they can take out Trump, they will have taken the American people out of the picture. And that will give them full, unfettered control of America, forever.
