Hillary always got a lot of heat for supporting TPP. Wouldn't BIden have received the same heat? For some reason he never seems to.

Probably not. There's a lot of weird double standards that go on with Hillary -- and I don't even mean necessarily sexist ones. The Internet "likes" Biden, in an ill-defined but clearly true sense, while it "dislikes" Hillary, and so it is less likely to find fault in Biden.

It's kinda dumb, yeah.

He seems to legitimately not understand that the other branches of government are co-equal and not subservient to the executive.

Which is good, because it means he gets blindsided when his stupid agenda can't pass through effortlessly.

It's funny because most gop congressmen did much better in their districts than trump did.

Also, scaramucci is very quick to abandon his beliefs if it means he gets some power:

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/07/23/politics/kfile-scaramucci-trump-column/index.html


"Unbridled demagoguery has driven the GOP to an inflection point from which there is no turning back," Scaramucci wrote in a January 2016 op-ed for FoxBusiness.com titled "The Bankruptcy and Restructuring of the Republican Party."

...
"Call it, if you will, a moral debt restructuring, one caused by the reckless behavior of a man who knows a thing or two about bankruptcy," he continued, in a thinly veiled reference to Trump.

The Russia sanction bill, the investigations that are still going on, their failure to give him a health care bill to sign... he has lots of reasons to be mad at Congress.

Some relevant data:
https://twitter.com/bindersab/status/889242450144964609
Trump only outperformed 23 GOP Reps last November, and it looks like most of them would have very likely won anyway given their margins. Based on that graph I'd say you could argue somewhere between 3 and 7 Reps plausibly owe their seats to Trump.

Trump is shutting down ACA call centers. He's trying to MAKE it fail, making it harder to get coverage on purpose. https://t.co/KdSxxc0LVg

I mean just the other day it was brought up ACA funds to advertise it are now being used to attack it, and then this. If ACA is eventually brought down, it's gonna be real fucking hard to blame Obama.

There are still people who blame Obama for the Hurricane Katrina response. So I don't think it's really that hard to blame Obama.
