LOL, I think leftists are at the bargaining stage of grief, so at least we're getting somewhere. They were stuck at denial and anger for a long damn time. Though watching them try to blame white supremacists, Russian spies, the electoral college and "fake news" sure was entertaining.
Of course this fucking nonsense sounds like it was written by H.A. Goodman at the height of his mental illness.
The down-in-the-dumps figures raise hard questions about whether he’ll have the political capital needed to push through his more controversial nominees and his aggressive legislative goals of repealing Obamacare, passing a major infrastructure spending plan and reforming immigration and tax policies.
So every conservatives dream agenda since the stone age?! Yeah, I can really see the GOP dominated house and senate "hobbling" trump when he's trying to pass the GOP's wet dreams. This article is a fucking joke!!!
Trump’s persistent and deep unpopularity – combined with the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million ballots – means he lacks the potent argument that the will of the people are behind his agenda.
Huh? You know what's an even more "potent argument"? Winning the presidency, control of the house, senate and the majority of governorships. Oh, did I mention the supreme court? Yelling about "winning" the popular vote is like claiming to have won a chess game after checkmate because you have more pieces on the board.
“The lack of support for the president-elect means that Democrats can oppose him when they believe they should,”
Yes, and that opposition will be as meaningful as leftists trying to "raise awareness" about transgender bathrooms. As in, it will sure make the, feel good, but at the end of the day it will jut be more empty virtue signalling with no affect on the real world.
The outlook for Trump’s nominees is generally positive, but some have already caused agitation not only among Democrats but also among his fellow Republicans. The loudest intra-party dissent has come in reaction to Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, who has extensive ties with Russia. That has raised the ire of Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), two notable Russia hawks.
That's nice. The chances of his nomination being denied are still zero.
But on the whole, Trump should wield some power over the Senate. Of the 52 incoming Republicans in the chamber, only three hail from states that voted against Trump this fall: Susan Collins (Maine), Cory Gardner (Colorado) and Dean Heller (Nevada). And of those, only Heller is up for reelection this year.
Yeah, "some" power.
The House is similarly tilted toward Trump, which could help with his legislative agenda, despite his lack of fulsome support among Americans nationwide. While final calculations are still spending, Trump appears to have won a majority of House districts, despite trailing Clinton by more than 2 percentage points nationally.
Oh. Wait, this sure doesn't sound like he's being "hobbled" by fucking anything.
