Trump’s Reckless Partisanism

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Trump addressed his concerns about the Senate process in his tweets on Saturday.

"Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW!" Trump tweeted. "It is killing the R Party, allows 8 Dems to control country. 200 Bills sit in Senate. A JOKE!"

"The very outdated filibuster rule must go," he continued. "Budget reconciliation is killing R's in Senate. Mitch M, go to 51 Votes NOW and WIN. IT'S TIME!"

And shortly after that, Trump posted: "If the Senate Democrats ever got the chance, they would switch to a 51 majority vote in first minute. They are laughing at R's. MAKE CHANGE!"’

Clearly Trump doesn’t care about what’s best for America, like most Republicans he puts party before country.

The GOP’s failure to repeal the ACA is good for America, allowing millions of Americans to continue to have access to affordable healthcare – not that Trump and most Republicans care about what’s best for millions of Americans, of course.

Republicans have only themselves and Trump to blame for their failures, not Senate rules and procedures.

Looks like politics as usual.........

Reid triggers ‘nuclear option’ to change Senate rules, end repeat filibusters

I'm quite sure you will find a way to rationalize it though.......

Trump's reckless partisanship? With a Congress full of the very people who INVENTED partisanship and are its masters at the expense of all else, you think Trump is the problem???

I see that the new lie...er..talking point, is to say that Obamacare is good for America and a vote against it is a vote against America.

I wonder how many people will think so when it comes crashing down around their ears with no plan in place to provide a safety net.

Wow. A president frustrated that he has trouble getting a bill though the Senate.

THis must be a first. This must be a terrible threat to democracy.

If you are a fool who thinks that the world began yesterday.

When Trump is impeached and then removed from office, will his portrait remain in the White House?

Regardless of how the 60 vote rule affects our legislation du jour, it is a good one, in my opinion. It pretty much ensures that both sides of the aisle will have to have some buy in, and since the entire country is not one side or the other, it seems to me that is fair and a well thought out way to ensure it.
I, too, was disappointed in the President's tweets this a.m. continuing to push for the "nuclear option." It has already been used too much, imo, and the President's impatience should not be used to destroy a well thought out rule that insures a modicum of consensus in our legislating body.

Leaders haul up their squabbling inferiors and tell 'em to get to work or find the door. Trump is encouraging them to squabble more.

Trump is so stupid. This is all going to come back and bite him in the behind come January 2019. Republicans have senate and congress now, but that most likely won't be the case in 2018 mid term elections.

Democrats aren't going to forget the partisan crap Trump has pulled.

As POTUS Trump needs to work with both parties. Not work against the other party.

so you think he is different from obama or bush in this regard?....and when was the last time you saw the 2 parties working with each other instead of against each other?...

If you get that, this will be your reward.

It would simply turn the Senate into the same body as the House. Rule of the mob. This is the very reason the two houses were constructed differently. The Senate was supposed to be a slow moving much more contemplative body than the House, which is just rule of the jungle.

And wait, Trump will be demanding to do away with many more normal functions of this democracy. Authoritarians are like that.

 

[peach174]

So let me get this right.
You all are saying that it's terrible for Trump to want the Senate to go back to the rules that was there ,before the Senate Leader Harry Reid changed them.
Why?
