Trump veto'ing is kind of a moot point, if there's a democratic congress, he's getting impeached as fast as possible and even if another Republican lines up and doesn't get impeached as well for all sorts of shared Russian connections, they'll probably stick with the Paris Agreement.

Sooo where are those extra fifteen Democrats in the Senate coming from

What he means is

In 2018, you can't loving get a Democratic House. You likely can't even get a Democratic Senate. What then

By the time we get both of those things, Trump's going to be a decaying corpse. While we SHOULD put his future body up on charges and harangue him like Pope Formosus, I dunno if Democrats have it in them to do it.

Same, but the Senate's just not in play in 2018. The Democrats will be extraordinarily lucky if they get even a basic majority, and you need a two-thirds majority (67 votes) in the Senate to actually Do the drat Thing and toss a president.

It might have "worked" for them with Trump, but choosing extreme candidates in primaries cost Republicans a lot of winnable elections over the years. The idea that centrism is why Democrats lose is dumb.

Hey guys who do you think Trump's pick to head medicaid blames for the problems with the ACA?

Here's a hint!

quote:

Verma was a health care consultant who helped design a controversial Medicaid plan in Indiana for then-governor Mike Pence. Now she is at the center of the nation's health care debate, overseeing a $1 trillion federal budget and health care programs for more than 100 million Americans. They include Medicaid, the target of more than $600 billion over 10 years in cuts in Trump's budget proposal released last week.

Who said anything about the time between now and November 2018? I know there's nothing we can do about that. It stops him from doing further damage between 2018 and 2020. You take your victories where you can get them.

And quite frankly, the panic that Jon Ossoff's victory would cause Republicans in June would be enough to frighten them off some of their more pernicious legislative priorities.

Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

Why would we forget steam? Every power generation system that burns something is a tea-kettle? Coal, oil, gas, nuclear? All use the heat generated to push steam through turbines. Even solar power is sometimes steam (reflecting the sun's heat onto boilers instead of photovoltaic panels).
