In fact, by all appearances, congressional Republicans have deliberately sabotaged several of Trump's key initiatives.
    Yeah. The tea party are professionally obstructionistic.

        Exactly.
        I think Trump would be willing to do the will of the people but stains on the soul of humanity like Paul Ryan won't have any of it.

        We need to find out if Paul is into: cash, cocaine, or call girls, so we can pay him to work for the people.
        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

            I never much cared for Trump, and I am disappointed in his direction so far. I would still vote for him over virtually any Democrat.

              You have to think of it this way, we are light years ahead of where we would have been if Hillary was elected. Just that one seat on the Supreme Court would have been worth it...

                Because the nomination of a conservative judge is going to do what, exactly?
                Can you name one important social issue conservatives have won on in the last 40 years?

                All a conservative judge will do is rubber stamp our next war.

                    Name a substantive social issue that conservatives have won.
                    It isn't cynicism, it's just calling them as I see them.

                        No, our credulity is the problem.
                        We actually believe there are two parties, Democrats and Republican, when in fact there is only one party: Cash, Cocaine, and Call Girls.

                        It is a ruse, a lie, a load of horse pOOpie that we're sold over and over again. We're told that there are conservative politicians but they don't exist. They'll lie about their beliefs, get into office, and turn around and stab us in the back every time because to live in Washington is to drink the Kool-Aid and our legislature makes Jones Town look like nothing at all. Our government is the world system and our attempts to make it reflect the values of the Kingdom are a complete and total waste of time.

                        Before I get blowback on this I'd like to suggest you spend another 10 years hoping for something honest from the fetid Swamp that is Washington.
                        Let me know when you've had enough.

                          Why are you blaming the Tea Party? They have nothing to do with this. It's establishment Republicans who are the problem.

                            The establishment conservatives didn't scuttle the healthcare bill. The tea party did. That was supposed to be his signature first 100 days accomplishment and the hardliners killed it.

                              Yes because Ryan's plan was crap and would have accomplished little more than give Obamacare a different name. I'm convinced Ryan did this deliberately to sabotage Trump.
