Congressional GOP – keep campaign promises, or get out of Congress

One can only hope the doomsday polling that shows voter anger is noticed in DC.

Republican voters are tired of their congressman playing small ball. It’s almost as if they think winning majority control is the end-game, rather than keeping campaign promises that got them into Congress in the first place.

We don’t know of any GOP politician whose campaign ran on ‘send me to Congress so I can sit in the driver’s seat’…we heard Obamacare and DREAMer repeal, and grow-economy or tax-reform promises…but no ‘I want power but won’t use it rhetoric.

So far, this GOP Congress is guilty of dereliction-of-duty, and, sadly, it looks like they’re in no hurry to change that any time soon. Good news is this President is a take-charge kind of guy, and will work what deals he can to get done what’s in his power to do.

There is one Tripwire that will signal Republicans have developed a will to win…getting rid of the Filibuster that requires 60 votes to pass. If the GOP forces a 51-vote simple majority to pass legislation, it could just signal they have found some backbone.

But in the meantime, President Trump is all we have.
