Actually, Trump holds all the cards. The loss here was due to a GOP Congress that has its head complete up its ass. The failure is all GOP Congress. We must ask ourselves, whith the GOP Congress saying for 8 years they would Repeal and Replace Obamacare at the first opportunity and submitting over 60 bills to do that during the Obama years, where the f_ck was the plan to Repeal and Replace on Day 1 of the Trump Administration? They had 8 years to create a viable, free market solution to the Socialist Obamacare. It turns out the GOP Congress was not doing their jobs over the last 8 years. It is the job of Congress to create laws. The fact is that the GOP Congress is a "do nothing" Congress that only knows how to obstruct and resist and doesn't know how to govern. The real losers here are the American people and the GOP Congress at the next election. I can tell you right now, I will vote against these assholes in the next Congressional election. The flip side of this coin, though, is that we all know Obamacare is a disaster and is not viable. It was always a loser. Everyone I know is paying drastically higher premiums and getting substantially less coverage and it is getting worse every day that goes by. That will create enormous pressure on the GOP to do something, while they still have the majority. In addition, we will be reminded every day how shitty Obamacare is, which was the Democrat centerpiece during their power years. So Trump is making exactly the right move right now by turning to tax reform. Time is on his side, but it is not on the GOP's side. Trump was right when he said the GOP Congressmen will lose their jobs if they can't figure out how to deliver on their promises. Among the Democrats, they will make a big deal out of how this was a Trump failure. But that's just fake news and a distraction, which is fairly typical of the Democrats and their captured media conglomerates. To all of Trump's supporters, we know who the real failures are and it is the GOP Congress, who has never served the American people and who have always been just power hungry. In the next election, we'll teach them the same lesson we taught Hillary and all of Trump's GOP Presidential rivals: if all you care about is power and you put the American people last, then we will fire you.
