      Also, Senate filibuster hasn’t gone anywhere yet. Everything gets better the fewer Republicans we have in Washington DC and the American people seem about as eager to get rid of them as I have ever seen them, so we should seize that momentum if we can.

        I certainly hope for the best. And couldn’t the Dems now actually abolish the filibuster? But will they have the balls to do it?

          Yeah, at the beginning of each Congress they have to vote on the rules their house will use for the next two years and at that point a bare majority could scrap the filibuster rule

      You are ignoring a basic Trump fact.

      He has zero loyalty to anyone or anything.

      Think he wouldn’t throw Elon and the whole GOP leadership under the bus tomorrow? If you do, you haven’t been paying attention.

      If he signs the Medicare For All Bill under the name ‘Trump Is The Greatest President Ever Health Care Bill’ I have no problem.

        I have been paying way more attention than is good for my mental health. Trump will never sign any bill that actually helps regular people because above all he enjoys making people suffer

        If you get elected on a wave, then do nothing to improve people’s lives, you’re just going to be voted out 2 years later. They have to act now.
