Trump admits Foundation broke IRS rules

Willing to oppose Trump, some Senate Republicans gain leverage

""It is no surprise that Democrats in the U.S. Congress will oppose Donald Trump but the most important resistance to fulfilling the president-elect's agenda is beginning to emerge from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

A small number of influential Republicans in the Senate are threatening to block appointments to Trump's administration, derail his thaw with Russia and prevent the planned wall on the border with Mexico.

The party held onto control of the Senate at the Nov. 8 election but by only a thin margin, putting powerful swing votes in just a few hands.

That empowers Republican Senate mavericks such as Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas. Both were bitter rivals to Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

Paul, a libertarian lone wolf, says he will block Senate confirmations if Trump nominates either former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani or former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton to be secretary of state.

South Carolina's Lindsay Graham has started publicly outlining places he might be willing to oppose Trump. He is against the Mexican border wall and is delivering warnings against Trump's intention to revoke legal status for undocumented immigrants brought here as children - although that would not require congressional approval.

Graham, a traditional Republican foreign policy hawk, strongly disagrees with Trump's attempt to improve ties with Russia.

"I am going to be kind of a hard ass" on Russia, Graham told reporters recently. "We can’t sit on the sidelines" and let cyber attacks blamed on Russia "go unanswered."

The early stirrings of opposition from Senate Republicans are a sign that the New York businessman, who has never held public office, might run into harsh political realities soon after taking office on Jan. 20.

Other Senators who might defy Trump are Arizona's John McCain and Jeff Flake, Nebraska's Ben Sasse, Florida's Marco Rubio, Maine's Susan Collins and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, said senior Senate aides and lawmakers.

These lawmakers have ruffled feathers in the past and some have a good political reason not to fear Trump: Paul, McCain, Murkowski and Rubio do not have to run for reelection until 2022. Graham, Collins and Sasse will have to face the voters in 2020; Cruz and Flake have an earlier election, in 2018.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose job is to keep the Republicans in line, knows the challenges ahead. A senior Republican aide said McConnell is “loathe” to spend time trying to move bills that lack the needed Senate votes.

McConnell is aware he will not have the support of some of his own lawmakers on bills that could pass the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, such as appropriating money to build the Mexican wall and further abortion restrictions, the aide said.""....

It's okay if Trump is a crook.
Ah, but if he can't bring back the jobs .....
It's still okay. It won't be his fault. It's those damned extraterrestrial Jews.

Plus, he can blame Obama for everything for at least the next six years.

What if the Democrats recognize Trump for what he is, a Dem in GOP clothing and take up his progressive stances on Infrastructure and other liberal initiatives? He will court the Dems and turn his back on the GOP, who have been slamming him since he announced. He is already backpedaling on the ACA, Hillary's prosecution and (when did we hear anymore about the wall?) The Muslim ban is now just some intense vetting. WOW! THIS GUYS IS STARTING TO SOUND BETTER!

I don't know. If the jobs don't come back to places like Stubenville Pa, and interest rates go up 2%, Medicaid expansion and Obamacare subsidizes go away, there may be some long faces.
 
Let's see if I understand exactly how the election went down. Hillary beat Sanders. Trump beat Hillary. Jim, it just doesn't sound like you had any chance from the git-go. Losers all the way.

Trump's tax, infrastructure promises face pushback from GOP lawmakers

Trump’s “Trillion-Dollar” Infrastructure Plan Is Already in Trouble

And about those jobs......

But Hillary would have gotten her plans through a Republican House and Senate? Dream on.

It is beginning to look like Donnie may have made A LOT of promises that had NO CHANCE of coming true. And his own party will be the ones smiling as they stick the knife in his back.

Personally, I would love to see those millions of job and the economy booming, but with the GOP standing in his way, Donnie is doomed.
