Ex-Cruz aide: Trump presidency 'is effectively over'

Ex-Cruz aide: Trump presidency 'is effectively over'
BY JOE CONCHA - 07/28/17 08:16 AM EDT

Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) former communications director declared that the presidency of Donald Trump "is effectively over" on MSNBC on Friday.

"I think this presidency is effectively over," Rick Tyler told "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski.

"But this president cannot change. Nothing about his behavior tells me, since the beginning of this process, that he was going to change. And if you cannot change and you cannot become presidential, and you cannot convince the majority of the American people to enact some legislative agenda that he wants passed, his presidency legislatively is effectively over," he concluded.

so watch for more EO's that harm everyone.

But for now let's celebrate that 3 GOP senators decided not to destroy healthcare for the whole country.

McConnell says his only regret is not doing just that. Think about that.

He thought he could rule by fiat and EO's.

The stupid bastard has zero people skills and couldn't lead people out of a wet paper sack!

SAD!

The good people of Texas deserve a better senator than what we've got. I could care less about the Teabaggers, racists, and bigots masquerading as Christians.
