"He has immense potential to rally the GOP to his side which he's not using, allowing the GOP to use him as their vehicle"

are you so sure of that

what do you mean by 'the GOP'

after all, many GOP incumbents in the congress were those who tried to undermine him in 2016 and still do

The GOP.

He could have made the contract and offered it to congressmen

He could have threatened their re-election chances if they didn't

He has so much power with the GOP electorate and could easily leverage that against the establishment in Congress.

Those people could have all been primaried if Trump wished, and with a plan to get Trump's legislation done, a much higher chance of challengers actually winning the seat.

He could be passing legislation that he wants to do, but instead is allowing the swamp to use him to pass only what they want, with Trump's policies placed in the backburner indefinitely.

@Julien Blanc Trump has the GOP by the balls honestly

There is no movement behind McConnel or Ryan

Trump has a massive fucking movement

That type of shit can ALWAYS be used

Like Bernie could have done a shit ton with his energized movement but bent over for the establishment

People like McConnell are not loved by anyone really. They know it too

Trump is loved by a base of millions

He can tell people like McConnell to go fuck themselves if he wanted honestly

Trump deserves his personality cult, honestly. Everything looked like it was lost back in 2015. The tea party failed, and republicans seemed incapable of doing anything but winning side-elections and losing when it actually mattered. Then Trump swooped in from nowhere, and we saw hundreds of thousands of disaffected young men feel genuine hope for the first time in a long time. He shook the entire planet. It's hard to put into words just how much things have changed in the last 3 years. But he gave us tangible momentum to fight against the decline, and for that I am extremely grateful.

eh, I don't think he could do to every single GOP politician the same thing to Mark Sanford, Casey Cagle, and the like

yeah, this is exactly why I feel the need to vehemently defend him against some of these blackpill fags. He and Pence could die at this very moment, but it would have all been worth it simply because he showed that our enemies are not invincible

For now

And even if he can't to *everyone* he can do it to pretty much nearly everyone. The GOP electorate love Trump, not necessarily the politicians.

The ones where threatening wouldn't have a big effect, like Curbelo, would we really care too much if they lose their seats?

which House and Senate incumbents do you think he should have tried primarying then ?

honestly, i think if we hold the house, govt will be a lot more functional next year

i mean almost all of the crappy congressmen and senators will be out

I hope so too

We need to stop this

Good news goys, I can now officially vote. Midterms here I come

@Julien Blanc any and every incumbent that didn't go along with the contract

https://twitter.com/burgessev/status/1043204451253727233

The usual suspects are the ones that would refuse to sign it, Kevin Yoder, Curbelo, etc

Maybe don't primary people like Curbelo, but don't endorse either, just leave them to their fate

Not a chance we'll get a district like that without someone like that

that's a nice and interesting idea, but antagonizing a large percentage of the GOP congress can backfire, leading to nothing them becoming obstructionists alongside the Democrats

there's a reason he supported Luther Strange over Moore

So apparently Rosenstein is getting Shoah'd. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1043195602635509767
