GOP grows tired of being blindsided by Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Republicans are getting tired of being caught off-guard by President Trump on key issues like health care and controversial nominees like Herman Cain, and say there needs to be more consultation from the White House.

Trump’s allies say they often find out about the president’s plans on Twitter or through media reports, making it almost impossible to offer the White House any advice before major decisions are announced.

“When names are floated, you guys come around and ask, ‘What about this person? What about that person?’” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the GOP leadership team, told reporters Wednesday, saying he would like to see “more communication and collaboration.”

“This is a nontraditional presidency, and the president now figures he doesn’t need a lot of advisers because he wants to do it himself. But there’s a lot of informal mechanisms and avenues for sharing information that are not really working very well now,” he added.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Thursday that they agreed with Cornyn that there needs to be more communication between the White House and congressional Republicans.

1. Yeah, good luck with that...

assuming it is true, that is. They don't seem to be overly unhappy yet.

[Guilded Lilly]

2. And we are f'ing tired of Republicans. Go choke on it. N/t

3. Oh I wish they would shut up with this

They love everything he is doing. I'm sure their corporate overlords are happy as clams. And they are getting their kook judges installed. They have the power to do something about it if they dont like it, but their silence and lack of action leads me to believe they are fine with his absurdities.

4. More likely they realize they got on the wrong train and the next stop is

Tombstone, AZ.

5. The fools could do something about it, but they won't. Nt

6. yet, they support him 1000%. 'non-traditional presidency' what a mound of horse shit.

7. Oh really?

8. Tired, but not tired enough

Not one of them has the moxie to cross him. They all march in lock-step formation with the Emperor Trump.

9. If they did not know from the start

he would go off like this then they are stupider than I thought.

It was obvious from the beginning that the only people who would have his ear were himself, Ivanka, himself, Jared, himself, Don Jr. etc. He does not need the elected officials, he does not need the cabinet people he does not need any input from anyone else. Your job is to fawn and scrape and bow to dear leader then make it certain that he remains the dear leader. Surely we will all begin to realize how fortunate we all are.

Yeah, you are stupider than we thought. This was obvious long before he even declared his intention to run.

10. Awwwww. You don't like your widdew monster you made???

11. They can stop it any time they want.

Fuck them.

12. It's not a "nontraditional presidency"

It's an illegitimate presidency. I wish the media would stop referring to him as "President Trump" altogether. Maybe "Mr. Trump."
