I keep searching for hope. Hope to stop this maniac getting ready to take total control of our government and send us back to the stone age. So what about this? What if we could flip just 3 Republican Senators into the Independent (but caucusing with Dems) or Democratic side of the aisle? That would give us a 51-49 majority which would be enough to stall many of Trump’s most disgusting proposals, including the Supreme Court nominations.
John McCain was dissed by Trump early on. Trump also dissed the troops by saying “I like people who weren’t caught.” McCain then eviscerated Trump about his comments about women and never really endorsed him. His wife even wore a white pantsuit to vote. McCain won’t get past Trump’s historic payback machine. He’ll be relegated to heading up nothing, and having no power. If McCain wanted to regain his “mavrickey” mantle, he could declare himself an independent and caucus with the Democrats.
At the same time, so could Lindsay Graham. He publicly stated that he didn’t vote for Trump. After Tuesday Graham congratulated him and got all olive branchy. Again, though, Trump is very vindictive and tends to not forget or forgive slights. So, Graham probably won’t be held in much esteem in the Trump government.
So, all these 2 best buds need is one more person to drag along with them. This would be a seismic shift that could control Trump and give these 2 immense power. I’d rather bet on this scenario than the one we’re saddled with now. Am I crazy? Am I grabbing at straws. Or, is there a path to this?
Please discuss.
