I am so glad we elected the bumbling fool the media portrays.
It must just be luck that he needs the tax cut passed and the handful of preening clowns in the Senate in his own party have just enough to block him.
Then I read things like this:
https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/President-Donald-Trump-West-Virginia-China-83-7-billion-deal/2017/11/19/id/827076/
Now what possible deal could he have made for $83 billion in Chinese petrochem investment in infrastructure in West Virginia? Perhaps a senate vote from a Democrat for tax cuts?. I am sure some part of that $83 billion has Manchin’s name on it somewhere.
Now I wonder what other stuff he brought home for red states with blue senators?
So, folks, the sleazy big money dealing politics can be used by the GOPe to keep their power at the expense of their voters, or sleazy big money politics can be used to benefit the voters and derail the GOPe.
Or we could wait until we had a senate that voted on principle.
Hillary and the GOPe would have given the Chinese 83 billion to take jobs away from the US as long as they got their cut.
If Trump gets the tax cut, the midterms will be the Dem’s yelling “Ignore those plentiful higher paying jobs! Trump is an idiot!” and the GOPe trying to lose it and failing despite their best efforts.
Yuppers.
From Casablanca:
Major Strasser: You give him [Rick] credit for too much cleverness. My impression was that he’s just another blundering American.
Captain Renault: We musn’t underestimate “American blundering”. I was with them when they “blundered” into Berlin in 1918.
