@oralloy,
Lets say that you are "more correct" than I. Trump's very self proclaimed "Skills" at negotiation and "deal making" are his failings totally and not the result of liberal establishments. His failure in doing in the ACA has a lot to do with his petulance and inability to see the deals possible and to politically Arm Twist (like Lyndon Johnson could).
I see examples of cross aisle cooperation between Dems and GOP to"fix the ACA" (theres a big push to broker a deal among the representatives to get the issues of drug pricing and plan pricing to make insurance companies calm down. AND, it looks like, despite Trumps warnings about shutting down the govt if he isnt satisfied over the "border Wall" There were several GOPers who said that the House has enough votes to ovverride his veto.
His own party, as was mentioned in a NYT story on Thurs, is working to marginalize him and to possibly make him irrelevant.
His breaking the constitution ois already being done with his Secy of Education's plans for bringing prayer to Charter schools (It must be recalled that charter schools are still considered public institutions, and his mean spirited talk about what hed do with the press sounds a lot like like Spiro Agnew.
His base hangs on because they dont like to admit that they fucked up. Independents arent so loyal. They want real results.
Were coming up to end of year 1 and the whole govt is dysfunctional and most of that is due to Trump's inability to play political checkers.(Hes really not the strategist that he claims he is), and it appears that hes got some major screws loose.
