Trump is wasting time. . .
On August 21 we'll have a once in 100 years eclipse. I don't know how long it's been since there has been a Republican in the White House, a Republican senate and house, and a Republican Supreme Court, but I've got to think it's about as long. And looking at how our country is going, I've got to think it's going to be at least 100 years before it happens again.
And therefore, I am so frustrated at what I see as a lack of discipline, a lack of effort, a lack of doing the work and getting stuff done. The repeal and replace mess looks to me like an administration without a command of how to implement policy, how to understand how government works and how to actually make something happen. Trump wanted 100% and he got 0%. What if he would have properly assessed the situation and would have gone for 85% and actually gotten it? Would you rather have the problem 85% fixed or 0% fixed.
The pendulum always swings back in Washington. With the next one or two election cycles the GOP will lose one or two houses in congress, or the White House, or a Supreme Court justice or two will hang it up. Things change, and I can't stop thinking that precious time is being wasted.

There are victories to be won. If Trump gets some smart folks on board, gets disciplined, and picks his battles wisely, he can start winning them. He must realize that true victory is not to win the day's news cycle with an insult, but to win legislative battles that will shape the course of American history.
not to mention the daily anti-trump media blast, you cannot open a news page without him killing puppies and punching babies
Good grief.
When G. W. Bush was president the GOP held the house and senate. Spending went up, deficit went up, government got bigger and individual liberty decreased. That is why the democrats swept into power, because the GOP showed what it was. Like most folks I wish the GOP was what it says it is, however it's not. The GOP is big government. The democrats just messed up so bad the GOP gets another chance because there is no where else to turn.
Do not confuse this with an endorsement of the democrats. But we have to face what the GOP is, or isn't, which ever way you want to look at it.
won't be long till the judicial branch will dominate all three and totally run this country......social engineers & freedom hater judges
that is starting to be my guess. Hard of two federal court cases and I am shocked what's going on there. These low-level judges are making up the rules as they go.
Trump might be right on his accusations of a judge in your court case during the election.
O, ye of lulu faith.
He's a genius and it's all part of a secret plan.
You knew what you were getting, didn't you ?
Yes I did...I have been with him since he committed to run...the alternative was your friend....[:o)]
As far as the solar eclipse.....it's supposed to be a bad omen for us, as blood moons are bad omens for Israel.
he is not wasting time at all, democrats and rhino's are wasting his time and ours

Yep, what he said. It's not Trump's fault. Everybody wants Trump to fail and they're doing everything to make him fail.

The Supreme court is where the power is.It has allowed abortion rights,it overruled for Happy Couples to marry,it allowed The Federal Reserve to be lawful money and it allowed corporation to lobby and bribe lawmakers with Super-Pacs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_agency
This nation is not a Republic with Democracy! It's a Plutocracy with minions trying to climb the corporate ladder with corruption and greed.
20 trillion in debt and fighting in Foreign lands for The NWO,with nothing to show for it but debt on the backs of We The People and the blood of our fighting forces helping a Muslim ruling class in Asia and The Middle East.
Soon The petrodollar will fail probably when Trump invades N.Korea then fall under The United Nations and The NWO umbrella when it does fails.
