Wouldn ' t it be the opposite though ? Now that they ' re in power , and their guy is president , if Washington doesn ' t work which isn ' t promising with a very slim Senate majority and possible defectors like Rand Paul then the GOP is now the one that gets blamed . It just seems to me unlikely that Trump ' s administration is going to pass a bunch of popular laws . Virtually everything he campaigned on is wildly unpopular with the general electorate , and the Dems aren ' t exactly incentivized to roll over and play dead . <| sep |> Pretty much my fall uniform <| sep |> Upvoted to infinity . It ' s too late though . People have already figured out the problems with basebuilding and decided it ' s not going to work . It ' s fucking over for basebuilding .
