Once you're on a ballistic trajectory that far over the horizon even tiny improvements to the boost phase mean hundreds of miles gained in range. Try it in kerbal if you want to see it in action.

That sounds about right. IIRC, they get one reconciliation vote a year or something like that. So now they basically have painted themselves into a corner and won't be able to do this again for a while. They're also kinda hosed on any tax reform they wanted to pull off since it looks like now that won't be doable till next year, before midterms.

I mean they can still do some ugly poo poo to healthcare, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Right because the healthcare repeal freed up money for the tax reform plans. And now they have no money for tax reform.

I think this puts Priebus as the shortest serving Chief of Staff, previous holder of that esteemed title was Samuel Skinner with 16 December 1991 to 23 August 1992. Priebus didn't even make it 8 months.

Edit: I'm an idiot it was James Baker who had it August 1992 till Bush Sr got out of office. Still pretty bad though

I'm seeing a lot of new insider comments about how Trump is going to run an "independent" White House, untethered from the Republican Congress.

I'm also seeing other insider comments about how Kelly was given full authority and nobody will get in or out of the Oval Office without his clearance.

Both of these things will drive Trump absolutely out of his mind.

What's that phrase that Sarah Cuckabee Sanders likes to keep trotting out at the press briefings? Something like, "We're not concerned with palace intrigue, instead we're focused on what the people really care about, such as creating jobs, ensuring national security, etc (a bunch of other poo poo the admin doesn't do)"

I wish one of the press bros would record that and just play it at her every time someone resigns.

Nobody has any idea what the role of the Chief of Staff is supposed to be in this administration.

There's also no guarantee that Trump won't just put someone new in a position and ignore Kelly entirely.
