I see a lot of Trump supporters claim that working with Pelosi and Schumer is some sort of grand strategery on the part of Trump to wake up Ryan and McConnell.

Wake up from what?

I am not a Trump Supporter," I'm agnostic on the subject, but I suggested that last night.  I took plenty of heat from those you mention so I guess I'm mystified.   :shrug:

"Wake up from what?"

Feckless inaction? Failure to use the power of the three branches of government that were given to them by GOP voters? Diddling while Rome burns?

Wake them up to the fact he's not really a Republican maybe?

That's not a "grand strategy" on Trump's part...it's just lousy leadership from him.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Wake up from..... the apparently limitless capacity of some... to delude themselves into believing that they are NOT, once again and as always, being conned by the usual suspect con-men in DC, perhaps?

I did, in hopes that after some cooling off we can actually discuss the original topic.  There was a really good discussion going until it turned into a relitigation of the Primaries from last year.  Here's hoping it stays on topic.

 Do you think Mitch and Paul really care? It seems the Democrats are more active in pursuing their agendas than the GOP is. Pelosi and Schumer's agenda is not compatible with the concept of fiscal responsibility and a limited federal government
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Trump is playing 20th Dimensional Chess - so shut up and get in line to swear an oath of fealty to Trump and his Hordes!

Pelosi and Schumer's agenda is not compatible with the concept of fiscal responsibility and a limited federal government

Neither is Trump's or the Republican Party.

 That is true

But Pelosi, Schumer's, and the rest of the Democrat Party's agenda is further away still

Do the Republicans have an agenda that is different than the Democrats?   From what I have seen lately I'm not sure.

No.  They just think they can manage Big Government Socialism better and more efficiently than the Democrats can.

Yep, that's what I think too. And a completely packed ultra-conservative SCOTUS wouldn't make a damn bit of difference at this point with the Congress we have.

What Trump is showing everyone is that he doesn't care who he has to side with in order to get good press from the MSM...he'll do it.

That's all he seems to care about...glowing praise from the media.  Hence the reason he called Schmucky and Stretch after the deal was signed to brag about that fact.

One moment we have him thundering about shutting the government down if he doesn't get the wall...then he signs a 3 month CR with NO funding for the wall.

He separated himself from the pack during the primaries raging about how illegal DACA was and how he was going to roundup illegals.

Now he's mumbling about how he could live with DACA if it was codified and passed by Congress...all this while Jared Kushner has been meeting behind the scenes with Little Dick Durbin to work out a deal on the dreamers.

Some of the inactivity is the fault of Congressional leadership...but this deal with Pelosi and Schumer rests squarely on Trumps doorstep as far as blame.

A real Republican...a true Conservative wouldn't lurch left when the GOP Leadership in the House and Senate was acting the way they are now.

His deal with Dem leadership shows where he intends to go the next 3 years IMHO.

And what he doesn't realize is that while he's basking in the good press of his alleged "bipartisan" deal...Schumer and Pelosi are plotting behind the scenes to try and impeach him the moment they get control of Congress again.

Dude,  you have absolutely got to stop doing this.

You are supposed to INGORE those things and assert Trump is playing dimensional underwater Chess.

You are supposed to conflate facts with euphoria so as to make True Trump Believers out of everyone.

And someone explain to me the difference between crappy republican deals and crappy democrat deals when the bottom line is crap.

It's a 3 months deal ... not the rest of our lives and he did it because of a national emergency.

What's wrong?  Where do I start?  The fact he's trying to find a back door out of repealing DACA...the fact he is one minute he's saying give me the wall or I shut down the government and the next minute he's making BS deals with Schumer and Pelosi?

Trump and his minions talk about draining the swamp then he's out there endorsing a McConnell swamp creature...he loves/hates/loves McConnell and now it looks like he's bringing the Dems into his friendship circle because he doesn't have the leadership skills as the leader of the GOP to get his Speaker and Majority leader in line enough to pass things he promised he was going to do when he was elected.

These three month "deals" on spending have been going on since Obama took office...and now Trump seems perfectly happy to continue Obama's failed fiscal policy of no budget, Continuing Resolutions and raising the Debt Ceiling with no remedy to fix the spending.

There were other ways to get the Harvey funding "right now" without more spending that none of us can't afford.

If you're perfectly ok with Trump acting like a Democrat...which you seem to be...you need to ask yourself what's wrong...not us.

And if Obama and Democrat majority Congress had done it, we'd be pissed.  That doesn't change because an R is beside the name this time.
