I give you... "the people"
But the news media doesn't need for Congress to make a move. They can start reporting the truth at any time. They helped make this mess, they can help fix it.
Yeah we're kind of playing with fire if we take a page from the Republican playbook and adopt a scorched earth policy. While I really want the Democrats to start doing things to stop Republicans like stealing SCOTUS nominees and shutting down every POTUS appointment to government, it sets up really bad precedents. I means sure, the Republicans already set that precedent but I want a function government more than I want to beat the Republicans. And I guess that's why I could never be a Republican because my feelings seem to be the antithesis of their strategy - to win at all costs.
He never stopped campaigning. He's still holding rallies and accepting donations and using those donations to illegally fund political activities.
Damn straight.
It always seemed like Trump was running to prove a point. Point made. There is no need to belabor the obvious.
Trump is having campaign style rallies. It's not quite the same thing. Rallies are the way Trump communicates with his base.
I know... Many Republican voters and Republican politicians feel the same way... it has grown tiresome having to defend him all the time and it wears one's credibility so thin...
The Democrats have "be the bigger/better person"ed themselves right into being despised as "elitist" "aloof" "condescending" and "arrogant". They're so busy trying to "be the adults" that they've lost focus on "winning the elections".
Don't be so sure. Incumbents get elected the vast majority of the time. Bush was massively unpopular but beat Kerry because Kerry was a bad candidate. The Democrats have to come up with something good. Or at the very least, don't intentionally screw one of the candidates. Hillary really and truly felt the bern in the general election.
Not so thin as that. The guys I know that were advocates are even more on board now. He's providing cover while his administration is staying on program and following through on his campaign promises. It can be easy to look at the setbacks in the Senate and miss the 50 Federal Judges he's nominated, the restructuring of the State department, EPA, Education, HUD, etc., the new level of enforcement of the border. Now, we are getting a third run at ACA, using a very new different approach and with good chances of at least partial success. Persistance. His people love him and that sort of enthusiasm is contagious.
Agreed and nothing we have seen in the last six months shows movement in a better direction. If anything, they are more condescending, more judgmental and less tolerant than they have been the last decade. Lest we forget, they lost 1000 seats at various levels in that time. Someone that says, "I have a better way." can make headway. Too often Democrats have said, "You're too racist/homophobic/sexist/stupid to understand what is right. Give me the keys."
