Trump Is Shooting Himself In The Foot Here....

by dismantling government as we know it and creating all this chaos and causing the government not to work - the American People will see just how important government is to us.

He is just doing things to make us realize how important government is.

Erode confidence in the government, and ultimately to break it so badly that nobody can put the pieces back together.

His base is untouchable, of course, but that's only what? 34%? Lower?

I think Repubs in Congress are starting to worry. Hopefully, those Trump voters who were just "hold there nose but oppose Hillary" voters will come to realize what they did.

It's almost too bad that '18 is so far away. If we could vote now, we could flip the House.

a repub congressional aide told him that Trump is losing Congress. They're sick and tired of all the chaos every damn day. Let's see if they actually do anything.
