Well, my two cents. Unless there is some accountability and responsibility rendered upon the corrupt individuals within the DOJ and the FBI (and IMHO the CIA), it really doesn't matter who holds the majority -- the leftist remain in control. I find no one being held accountable alarming to say the least. Also, consider that we have judges ruling against this President and others refusing to comply with policies that he is trying to put forth, so the GOP holding the majority doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference.
With that being said, I see two huge red flags that remain very unsettling about Trump. Why has he allowed Bammy holdovers to remain in play (Rosenstein as a good example) and why would he offer a pathway to citizenship, thus granting the DEMS millions of additional voters?
Last first as is my wont.
Putting on the table irresistible bait, for the so called illegal aliens known as "Dreamers", is one shrewd move. Yes we are a bit piqued 'Bout it but consider. Now the dems have to deliver.. it has been offered , the scent is in the air for all the illegals covered. This is known in poker as "Calling the Bluff". And raise...Wall, end chain immigration and other required chips to stay at the table. Looks like it worked... the dems will soon no longer have the governmnet shut down chip to play...they folded.
Now it puts DACA ...Wall.... all that on the table alone. Deal shifts to the right... new hand Dealer(Trump) calls the game. "Lady Death" I think. It is a version of "Mexican Sweat"...
http://poker.excite.co.uk/mexican-sweat-poker.html ........ how apropos do you not think? In Lady Death, or as I learned it..Senorita Del Muerto. When the Queen of Spades is turned upright in any hand. All cards are collected, deal shifts to the right... same game, pot stays and however wishes to engage in the next round anties up.
It is one hell of a pot builder. 2018 anyone?
As for the holdovers... this is one area I think Cruz would have been better prepared for. But we do have to understand the ground we are deployed on. Government is decisively populated by the left...part of the "March thru the Institutions" of the marxist. It is easy for an incoming marxist like obama to decimate what few humans/Conservatives have gained a small foothold... for Trump/Cruz or any acting on Conservative principles to do so in reverse is almost impossible.
The terrain is what it is.
As for obama/marxist judges. Do not give up hope..... that is what the marxist count on. Vote.. the only option in opposition too them.
Do you realize, it was only in '92 that R's gained the House... not since that crippled scumbag FDR did that happen. Likewise as long, never have R's held the Senate with a filibuster proof majority... much less a supper-majority. Now is not the time to go wobbly, till now it has all been defensive delaying the marxist tide. I am reminded about something... something 'Bout the "Sunshine Patriot".
Oh yeah.
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly ratedâ€
