RNC: Lack of Blue Wave Means House Dem Majority Needs to Work with Trump
2018-11-07
[PJ] WASHINGTON -- Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said Democratic gains weren't as bad as they could have been and that the margins mean Dems have to join hands to work with President Trump.
The public musings of a hopelessly delusional Chairwoman McDaniel.

#13  And Breyer is 80 - tasty spot to put Goresuch part 2 = Kethledge, a true originalist like Scalia, who was Goresuch's model.

#12  Biggest gift there could be: A Dimocrat majority that is so razor thin they will not be able to pass much of anything without endangering a lot of their people in 2020. The Senate will prevent Trump from needing to use the veto. And if they play it right, the economic downturn can be plainly pointed at the Dems in the House in 2020.

Most important thing is the weak sisters like Murkowski are now irrelevant. with 55 (or 54), trump can get his judges placed rapidly, and load the bench in the appeals and district courts. If Clarence Thomas has health issues, he can step down after this session, and Trump can put a younger conservative on the bench like 49-year-old Thapur, the first Indian American on the court. And Ginsberg, tick-tock bitch, Amy Barret is waiting for your seat you decrepit progressive socialist old hag.

They can pound sand. Trump can spend all his time appointing the judges most toxic to the liberal causes that he wants. Or not.

Libtards: Your move.

If the Democrats stop talking about impeachment, I expect no reaction from the base. "We've always been at war with Eastasia."

#5  President Donald Trump is warning Democrats against using their new majority in the House of Representatives to investigate his administration. He said in a tweet Wednesday that if they do, the Republican-controlled Senate may investigate Democrats.

#3  Pelosi made some pretty reasonable statementslast night. If she's not full of it she's starting to understand how that would play out in 2020.

#2  1. Trump still has veto that can only be overridden by 2/3rds of Congress.

2. Watching Trump for the last 2 years, you think he won't let the government be shut down?

3. Playing 'impeachment' games does not generate cooperation.

4. The Donks rely a lot on looting the Treasury to maintain their position and power. That requires a degree of cooperation. See - the Art of the Deal.

5. House Trunks got what they deserved playing as the Uniparty. The Senate played tough. A message there?

#1  ...and that the margins mean Dems have to join hands to work with President Trump.

Is she serious? The Dems have been saying 'impeach / investigate Trump' for two years, and that's exactly what they're going to spend the next two years doing. They will do nothing else besides that.

Given that it's a Romney saying this, I fully expected this level of cluelessness.
