Trump Triangulates


October 16, 2017 at 7:56 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Washington Post: “Scapegoating the Senate GOP is proving to be an effective political strategy for President Trump. Activists and donors on the right are primed to blame congressional Republicans, not him, if there is no sweeping rewrite of the nation’s tax laws — just as they did after the failure to repeal Obamacare.”

“A CBS News Tracker survey published Sunday showed that majorities want more cooperation between Congress and Trump, especially the president’s strongest backers and most Republicans. The most fascinating nugget from the poll: 39% of Republicans feel that their party’s congressional representatives ‘don’t like’ the president and are actively trying to undermine him, while another 37% think congressional Republicans don’t like Trump ‘but pretend to’ in order to try passing their own agenda.”

They pretend to like him to further their agenda...party over country. I hope they burn in Hell for this.

Actually, I watched Pulp Fiction yesterday and the description of what was planned for the rapist appealed to me...."get metal pipes, pliers and a blowtorch and have them suffer in agonizing pain for the remainder of their short lives. Go medieval on them". That is the type of Karma I would like for 45, his cabinet and all the GOP members in Congress.
