This is only a meaningful incentive when he's not outright making it harder for them to write legislation that can even make it to him to sign, to say nothing of the worry they might have of Mueller finding something radioactive and being tarred by association if they keep trying to run interference.

I just don't see what meaningful leverage he has over them if his popularity's in the gutter, he's under investigation, and he actively makes it harder to draft signature pieces of legislation.

He does dumb things all the time. He always assumes he has leverage, even when he doesn't.

You can't say Trump won't do something just because it's stupid.

Oh, you misunderstand what I was getting at. I was saying from the beginning that I think it's a hilariously bad idea for Donald to pick a fight with the establishment GOP right now because I'm pretty sure the establishment loathes him more than ever right this moment and he needs them more than they really need him. Ergo I really hope he's really doing it.

Man this show is getting too formulaic and predictable at this point. Mooch promised to refresh things but he's just a retread of the main character so yawn

Yeah, I feel that the producers are going for a real cheap ratings boost with this "Mooch" character. I mean, the "sleazy fast talking neighbor" was kind of cliche in the 1990s. I mean, its good for a rating boost for a few weeks, but then people will get tired of it.

I think they need to have a few breather episodes and then hit us with a wham episode for the Russian revelations.

How in the flying gently caress is this still happening? I mean, I know how, he just commented on every single thing he saw on TV and now it is coming back to bite him in the rear end, but still, too perfect.

So far today we have had the vote failing, chief of staff firings and what seems a nearing collapse of the administration even before the new reps are in charge. What is even left to happen today? Trump is still heading out to golf for the weekend right?

Chances are Collins isn't running for Senate again. She's probably going to run for Governor. If she ever ran as a democrat for Senate she would probably get 65% of the vote. Asfor Murkowski, she already won as a write in. She could easily win as a democrat.
