Trump tweets BOLD ACTION PLAN to support Republicans who need "more victories"

With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!

The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!

2. They had a conversation on Morning Joe this morning regarding Trump "fixing" Washington DC.

He was going to shake it up, it's broken, only he can fix it.

It's like that "One does not simply..." meme.

No one simply "fixes" Washington, especially a clueless carnival barker.

4. Classic...use an inability to garner 51 votes out of 52 kgop whereby 4 Kgop controlled Senate

To call for a vote on a more extreme bill version that will require the standard 60 Ayes to pass...

Just so *45 can
• divert attention away from 4 KGOP controlling a senate outcome which *45 does not favor

• to create a situation where votes of DEM Minority can actually have value {beyond symbolic}
Only for the purpose of shifting BLAME from
4 KGOP to 8 DEMS

• to set up the push for a BLANKET RULE CHANGE lowering the AYES requirement to 51 for ALL Senate bills/votes...

If he was such a masterful negotiator, shouldn't he have called the "no" vote Republicans to the White House and negotiated them into accepting the bill?
