The republicans are a bunch of cowards that aren't willing to let the government shutdown because they're too afraid of being pinned as the bad guys even though it was the democrats threatening to shutdown. So they end up compromising and giving the democrats literally everything.

Either the government shuts down and he's made out to be the bad guy, or he compromises and it's used against him (democrats did this before.)

Yes. Obamacare for instance was being held back by a few DNC senators, the only reason he managed to get it through was pleasing the insurance companies that backed them.

Actually it was deemed unconstitutional and only got passed by some fucked up loophole that put it in the tax code.

wrong

ben nelson voted against the final version of the bill. it was passed by budgetary reconciliation, a workaround to avoid the filibuster that is allowed for budget neutral bills. it required obamacare to fund itself through taxes and renegotiation of medicare agreements

the idea of eliminating the filibuster is incredibly foolish. a single democratic party wave would end his ability to pass bills with it, and a second wave in 2020 would let the dems pass pretty much anything they want.

Oh shut up. It's one thing or another with you people. One day Trump needs to hire more established politicians to be in his cabinet because of "experience" the next day his cabinet is the swamp! I really don't understand this dumb line of thinking that Trump would want to be the president of the United States to help himself. It's the most ridiculed position in the world and if the media would report the actual news it would also be the most transparent. Liberals are morons who take solace in being miserable. I'm done.

it isn't, actually, because that was also the situation for obama

deal with it. if you remove the filibuster, you get what you want for a single election cycle at most, possibly less if you see active voter threats destroy your majority.

then the other party sweeps you out and passes whatever they want, without those same repercussions. McConnell knows that, and it's why he won't do it.

that is what happens when you try to dismantle elements of our republic because they got in your way. that is what happened to dems when they used reconciliation to pass obamacare and it's what will happen to republicans in 2018 and 2020.

large changes don't happen overnight and require huge majorities of the nation to side with the party that wants to make the change. that is by design. a majority of americans don't even want trump to be president.

the reason dems survived their own fuckery was they had a 59 seat majority and many americans agreed with what they did. republicans only hold the house due to gerrymandering--more votes go to dem representatives than republican ones--barely hold the senate, and won the white house due to the EC experiencing a statistical anomaly. they hold government 'technically' which is a far more tenuous grip, and one that voters will punish much more harshly when the republic is dismantled to press their agenda.

The democrats are just going to get away with passing whatever budget they want anyways because republicans sit on their asses and cave at the idea of being blamed for what the democrats do.

They either go nuclear, shut it the fuck down or grow some balls and threaten the democrats for once. I prefer the latter.

what's going to happen is this: republicans will succeed at the goal of preventing further progress in the dems' agenda. that is a victory for them. they will tout it as such. dems will get their budget, trump will not get his tax cuts, and he'll continue to demand things while the nation collectively hates him more and more. republicans in 2018 will disavow him and hope to avoid a slaughter, and probably will avoid one. in 2020 trump will either not run again, or lose.

the alternatives all will cost them MUCH more in the next few years. that is why republicans won't "go nuclear, shut it down or threaten the dems"--because their threat is a hollow one, and they know it. anything they do will be reversed immediately after dems take the country back. so all republican progress will by necessity be done under the same restrictive system dems used, because otherwise it is too easy to reverse.

look at what happened when obama used executive orders to make big changes in 2016. it's all been undone. same deal for republicans. ignore the rules and they will be used against you ASAP.

and people think this guy isn't an idiot... why?

Because people always follow a confident and charismatic leader.

I mean just look no further than the Eater of Worlds and former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt:

https://31.media.tumblr.com/b56fd2759aa786e50f431b6801568ee2/tumblr_n7afzday5K1srbyoyo1_400.gif

The man is brutally sadistic and a complete engima, yet manages to mantain the influence of millions of followers worldwide that he calls his "Fireflies"

http://33.media.tumblr.com/aebf7138447a8ebad6d2b3a15cd11382/tumblr_nq1iwpS8SV1tl23yuo6_400.gif

This is a man who doesn't make any sense, he is not normal on any convential level, but he is powerful and charismatic and his message transcendes language, logic, race and creed to the extent that all people around the world who want to follow, who want to be controlled, flock to him like a queen bee.

You gotta believe if Bray Wyatt desired the White house it'd be his by now and he'd have painted black with the ashes of Sister Abigail. He just has different wants in life.

You have to wonder if Donald Trump is not something similar. The people who shake their fists an say "Why do you follow this man!?" are the same people who are immune to the sirens call he gives out with the emotion and power behind his actions.
