Lawrence is saying Trump's presidency effectively ended today.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

wow.

[madaboutharry]

1. Let us hope so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I hope so, but unfortunately, even if he can't get much done,

for some unknown period of time his sorry old orange ass will still be squatting in the White House, and he'll still be grifting from the U.S. Treasury.

[riversedge]

5. I am hoping Trump resigns

[dchill]

3. Out, damned spot! Out, I say!

What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

From Macbeth - Shakespeare

[Takket]

4. What is left really?

The only reason the GOP keeps this corrupt treasonous stooge around is so the doofus can rubber stamp their agenda. Now that the
"great closer", with total control of Congress, has pulled off one of the all time greatest bed wettings in the history of this country, why in the world do they need to keep him around? This was something EVERY rethug agreed on, that Obamacare was the most heinous piece of legislation EVER passed, and 45 still could not rally the troops to get it through the House. His presidency is pointless and pathetic. The GOP only harms their own ability to run the country by keeping him around.

And no one eats their own like the GOP.

10. So, maayyybe... some GOPers will be a bit less reluctant

to try to protect him from the Russia investigation?

[nolabear]

6. Maybe, maybe not but LO'D is the KING of schadenfreude.And I'm good with that.

[LiberalFighter]

7. He gave a very good 10 minute or so analysis. Really loved it!

The failures he has had.

And how Ryan and McConnell will be deciding what to pass and Drumpf is there to just sign it.

[MFM008]

8. Yes

He smoked maggots ham.
David Corn can't stop laughing.

[Kimchijeon]

9. Yup

[Zorro]

11. I like how Lawrence keeps repeatedly calling out Trump

as the laziest and most ignorant person ever elected President.

[doc03]

12. I hope so but Lawrence has a tendency to overstate

things. He is the one that said four years ago that Trump will never ever run for president.

[Hoyt]

13. People that hateful and callous don't go away that easily. The ACA will not be funded by GOPers,

nor will they enforce mandates. The ACA will die, but only because GOPers and Trump want it to. They will get what the wanted all along and be able to convince ignorant white wingers that it was the Democrats fault. We have to win at least the House in 2018.

[hibbing]

19. This is my thoguht also

I know people are excited about the failure of the bill, they will neuter the ACA then move on to gut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Peace

14. Isn't Pence one

...of them? One of the White Nationalist cabal? Will he keep Bannon? How and why did Bannon via Trump choose Pence.

[iloveObama12]

15. Trump Entertainment

Live From New York it's Saturday Night Live!
Now please let's end this clown show

[wiggs]

16. People are going to realize what DU already knows....just as there was no viable plan for ACA

repeal/replace...there is no thoughtful, effective plan for education, tax reform, immigration, deregulation, inequality, infrastructure, etc. The underlying policies, philosophy, and intent re their platform are BS. No foundation. No fundamental positive goals except tax cuts for the rich and concentration of power and wealth. Same as their 7 year effort re ACA. Hollow.

They could very well run into similar problems with any major legislative effort. They really can't govern. At least, people have to be wondering that they are all hat and no cattle.

Without the fundamental premise of proposing legislation that actually does GOOD THINGS FOR PEOPLE, they will be adrift.

(Until a crisis.)

[KittyWampus]

17. He can still kill the ACA though.

[Hekate]

18. O'Donnell is full of himself. I'll go with "seriously weakened," tho

[Cha]

20. Yeah, we wish.. I never say it's over until it's bloody over.

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Keith Ellison warns: This is just one battle. . .

31. i agree.

22. As long as Trump holds War Powers, let that sink in a second, War Powers, we are not safe

[Dopers_Greed]

24. Though Bush had the public on his side...

...when he started the business venture that was the Iraq War.

Trump by no means has the public on his side.

[yuiyoshida]

23. I would like to hope he is right but

have a funny feeling it will take a great bit of effort to remove his butt out of the Presidential seat.

[C Moon]

27. I agree: it put a lot of us into a state of shock when he was appointed president.

It's not over yet. So let's save the celebrating for when we're sure it's over.
There's too much going on right now.

[yuiyoshida]

28. That's an understatement

there is a ton of stuff going on right now. It kinda feels like the Trump Administration is a house of cards that could go any second.

[C Moon]

29. I sure hope so. But also hope the Dems are being watchful and cautious.

The GOP is deceitful.

[yuiyoshida]

30. I would go a little farther

The GOP is deceitful evil.

[still_one]

26. I wish he was right, but not even close. The ACA can be destroyed by them withholding the purse

strings. The fight has just started

[Crabby Appleton]

33. Stupidest thing I've ever heard a TV talking head say. nt
