If Trump keeps his current pace, he would have at least 340 EOs in 8 years. His rate surpasses that of G.W. Bush and Obama.

Like last week when he was going to pass a middle class tax cut before the mid terms even though congress is NOT in session? Are these are the ravings of a desperate man that will say anything to keep republicans in charge of congress, so he will not face the chance of impeachment and possible criminal charges?
He's great at running for office, but he's terrible at governing (which really makes him a model Republican
). I just don't know where the lines are as far as how much he actually thinks he can get away with, how much he is just bullshitting, or how little he actually understands his role.(10-31-2018, 02:18 AM)BrownAssClown Wrote: My prediction is this, if the republicans keep hold of the house and senate in the mid terms, Trump may feel emboldened to fire Mueller and Rosenstein and try to end the special counsels investigation and make the ugly cloud hanging over his administration go away. If Democrats get control in congress all heck might break loose. If the Republicans become the minority will they stand by Trump or throw him under the bus and blame him for their losses? Will they think they got all they can get out of him by getting two supreme court justices appointed and the corporate tax cut passed? Have they rode this horse as far as it will go? Stay tuned, as the political world turns.
I don't see the Republicans abandoning him if they end up in the minority. They'll try to ride the wave of discontent and blame their minority position for not getting anything done.
