Republican Party is walking away from the GOP president: Stuart Varney

By Stuart Varney Published August 17, 2017



The congressional calendar is jammed. There are serious doubts that there's room for all the legislation that's lined up waiting for a vote.

Well the current political crisis swirling around the White House, is making things worse.

Look at this. There are just 12 days before the end of September, when the House and Senate are in session together. In those 12 days, Congress has to pass a budget and a debt ceiling extension. That's surely very difficult.

Now throw in the Republican Party walking away from the Republican president. That is what's happening. And the chances of getting a budget, debt ceiling, health care, tax cuts and infrastructure done this year are surely slim and none.

Trump was the Art of the Dealmaker, he was going to single-handedly get America "the best deals".

America was conned.... AGAIN.

Because it wanted to be conned and told what it wanted to hear without any shred of principle outside of fear and retribution.

 This lets them try and blame Trump but I don't think they ever had the intention of doing it.

So you think this stuff would have happened if Trump weren't elected?    Would the Republicans have been lining up to pass Cruz's agenda?

So the political silliness season and Kabucki theater is upon us again. If they try to ram some silly stupid debt extension and budget through at the last minute as usual, Trump ought to call their bluff and veto it. Make them do it right. make the do nothing congress explain why they can't get anything done.  Sure they will try to blame Trump for vetoing their BS, but he has the upper hand.

Maybe Trump should Twitter up a storm now, that if Congress doesn't have good bills on his desk by a certain date in early September, he will not accept a rush job at the last minute.

Irrelevant.

The people were sold on the fact by the Trump Faithful and Militant that Trump was THE ONLY immortal on the planet capable of defeating Hillary and withstanding the onslaught of the Establishment Swamp to 'get the best deals' and 'make Washington work for the people" while MAGA.

Trump and his people said they did not need Conservatives who would not bend the knee, because they asserted Trump could do everything single-handedly, because of Trump's incredible business acumen, ability to negotiate and purloin success was an unrivaled feat in the history of man.

No, they would be stonewalling Cruz too.  And he'd be receiving death threats from Hollywood types, and the violence would be the same in the streets, and the media would be having a field day.

At least we could call them all racists if that's any consolation.

Yeah, I don't understand where anyone gets the idea that Cruz is popular with Establishment Republicans.

A little on the tiresome and pathetic theory that Ted Cruz (or anyone else) could or could not get anything done. Its like global warming science. A predetermined outcome arrived at by deliberately ignoring data. If Trump does something we like they declare only Trump could do it. If he can't do something they declare that If Trump can't do it, no one can. If Trump does something they don't like, they declare that Trump is pragmatic and anybody would have done the same. Its truly pathetic.

The ignored data is the fact that Trump is completely undiplomatic and unwilling to bend. The kind of man who thinks you can beat obedience into a dog. He's gone out of his way to make enemies.

Ted Cruz on the other hand does have a diplomatic streak and does know how to use it. He didn't take credit for it but the night before John Boehner suddenly announced his retirement Ted Cruz had a mysterious closed door meeting with house conservatives. He has a lot of friends in the house and a few in the senate.

While we can never understand the cesspool that is Washington D.C., the one thing we can count on is that it is always worse than you think.
