new tweets....the bozo in the white house just doesn't get it...update





If Republicans are going to pass great future legislation in the Senate, they must immediately go to a 51 vote majority, not senseless 60...






...Even though parts of healthcare could pass at 51, some really good things need 60. So many great future bills & budgets need 60 votes....


he's officially lost his mind today!

Last night's vote WAS trying to get just 51 votes. That did not happen. Pay attention, please.

Axing the filibuster could be a big advantage down the road though, if they could do it.

Even GOP Senators realize that Trump could care less about the content of legislation he wishes to sign. His incurious nature, social ineptness, laziness, and inability to focus are liabilities that render him ineffective. Undecided legislators are not likely to be won over by a so-called leader who is ignorant beyond belief when it comes to policy matters. Ironically, this Trump characteristic is arguably his "best" since it is self-defeating and precludes advancing a regressive agenda that ordinarily would be a piece of cake for a political party that occupies the White House and controls both house of Congress.

Every President does. Reach out to Dems, they actually represent more people than your party. Come up with a compromise that helps more people than the current law does and you would be lauded for your efforts.

If repukes would've gotten across 50 votes on any plan that could be filibustered. Trump would've been shouting even louder to end the filibuster. Trump screwed up the only strategy where repukes could've blamed Democrats for their failure to repeal the bill.
