He thinks he can do whatever he wants and his supporters will blindly follow him, but he might be in for a surprise when he repeals the ACA, even among his supporters only fifty percent of them want it repealed, while the other half want it either scaled back, left intact,or expanded:
Lol. In Canada after the 2011 election that was what people were saying about the liberals. 4 years later thanks to Trudeau, the liberals were returned to power.
At age 51, I have seen the death of both parties many times.
I guess we in the West have a very short term view of things.
Next 4 years is make or break for republicans if Trump screw up the country worse than 1929 then republicans will almost die out for the next 20 years maybe longer. Democrats in 2 yr will win many seats when the republicans start the down spiral of the economy it will happen.
Things are different now. The Democrats must work with the Republicans in congress, at least on many important issues, to keep Trump from doing as much damage as he intends. His biggest ego-trip would be to see how much of our nation he could destroy and the two parties and all of us won't survive, without sticking together.
Hmmm...
Not catching the news lately?
You must be unaware of the fact that just last year a sitting Republican House Speaker was forced into early retirement because he, among other things, was willing to compromise with Democrats on Planned Parenthood funding.
The Republicans that you hope will join with Democrats to oppose Trump understand that he beat a field of seventeen other candidates because the voters despise DC insiders and believe Trump is the one best able to "drain the swamp".
These same DC insider Republicans also understand that if Speaker Boehner can be ****-canned, if seventeen well-positioned Republican candidates can have their ass handed to them by a guy with zero political experience, they too can find themselves in a very bad place.

Yeah sure, right up until trump wants to fund something that Congress does not want, guess who controls the purse strings.
The "Independents" aren't a party and the Green Party were what, 1% of the vote? What Republicans want is one party rule and it is an oligarchy now. They own it and it will be interesting to watch because there will be no one they can blame for anything that happens for the next four years. It is one party ruling the country with Trump family members and billionaires controlling every aspect of America.
There is a midterm in 2018 so not necessarily 4 years.
Yeah tell us that in two years when the country gets a good whiff of what Trump and his minions are planning to do. The veil is slowly beginning to lift from the eyes of the independents and moderates in this country and he's not even president yet. They are beginning to see they were lied to. Your wish to hand over our freedoms to a corporate plutocracy will not come to fruition.
Even if he does manage to privatize some things it will all be held in check after the midterms and reversed in four years anyway. The majority of people just don't want that no matter how loudly you righties scream that they do.
The 2018 map is looking very good for us.
And if we hold the reins in 2020....why, we control redistricting.

What do you think is going to happen when the old people find out that his goal is to destroy Social Security and privatize Medicare? You think that's going to sit well with the base? Maybe YOU haven't read too much of the history of what happens to politicians who f*** with those two things. Cain ran on that platform and where is he today? Anybody know? Anybody? Yeah me neither.
