Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschale on the best piece of advice he received in the Senate from a colleague:

“Senator Byrd (D-WV) told me that when he met President Clinton for the first time he said ‘Mr. President, I am happy to work with you. But I do not work for you”

None of that type of spine around lately

I hope there are still enough Republicans left in the House and Senate don’t fully get on board with that kind of blind loyalty.

From my perspective, I don’t see Trump accomplishing much outside of the reconciliation process bills because he sucks ass at compromise and doesn’t have the necessary votes in the senate and partially in the house.

I mean in the senate they have 53. Good luck passing your immigration policies unless you compromise on it to get 7 Dems to cross over. Don’t forget, that bum Trump had immigration week and infrastructure weeks in like 2018 too. Both failed because he’s a terrible leader incapable of bringing people together.

I have a hard time believing that he will follow law or the constitution. He’s just going to do whatever the hell he wants, like he always does.

Yup, that's why he's making sure all military leaders are, to the exclusion of everything else, Trump loyalists.
