Seriously, I can not take posts like this seriously. Grow up.

Have the Libs done anything besides fight against it's repeal?

Will the Libs vote for the wall?

Will the Libs vote for tax reform?

This may come as a surprise to you, but the way it works is if a bill is introduced all that's needed for it to pass both houses is for enough people to vote for it.

It doesn't actually matter if those people have an R or a D after their name.

Taking away guns.
Shutting down coal mines (revival of 'war on coal), raising energy costs.
"Free college" (paid for with higher taxes).
Single payer health care (Obama care on steroids), taking away your control of your health care (and everything that adds to it's cost, including control of the food you eat).
Higher corporate taxes (driving businesses, and jobs, overseas).
National minimum wage ('living wage'), and the loss of jobs that goes with it.
More regulation, and the associated loss of entrepreneurship and jobs.
Shutting down drilling, exploration, and "fracking," leading to higher fuel and energy costs.
Control of everything they can get their hands on, including "lemonade stands."

This is "progressivism."

Always excuses. Trump ran on doing all of these things. Not the other party. The GOP can't agree on nothing. They should expect the (D)'s to bail them out?

Do you desire or even expect both parties to always vote in partisan lockstep?

Tell me......what's it like to live in such a narrow minded bubble?

Remember Obama saying that the presidency isn't a dictatorship?

Same thing applies to Trump.

Come back to earth. iirc, not a single Republican Senator or Rep voted in favor of Obamacare. Not a single House R voted for the Recovery Act; 3 liberal R Senators did. Of course on legislation such as that I expect near party line votes. It's tough luck for Trump that too many Congressional members of the party he theoretically leads aren't themselves Trump supporters.

Bill Clinton fired him because he was even too sleazy for his taste.

WashingtonPost.com: The Hooker, Line and Sinker

Yeah, the Washington Post is a real credible source.

Dick Morris is brilliant. He understands politics (former Democrat strategist), and I don't care if Bill Clinton fired him. That means nothing. Bill Clinton is an ass and everybody knows it.

Dick Morris is married and has been for many years, so he must not be as "sleazy" as you claim. He has written many books.

I haven't made any claims on Morris' sleaziness.

It's historical record.

He's a slimy hypocrite and hyperpartisan slug who, like that D'Souza creep, spews lies to a gullible audience eager to slurp down whatever anger and fear inducing slop that's served up to them.

Carry on.
