    Trump's been looking out for us all along. He's in a snake pit, dodging and manipulating vipers. So far, so good.

    I sure hope so Judy. And what I don't get is that Republicans control both houses and the presidency. Am I wrong in thinking that the democrats shouldn't have a say in jack sh*t?

    It's because of that 60 vote cloture vote rule in the Senate. It only takes 51 or a majority to pass a bill, but it takes 60 votes to call for the vote, otherwise, the opposition can filibuster. So all bills except "reconciliation" bills need 60 votes for cloture in order to ever vote on the bill. That's why people don't understand the squeeze we're in. We control it all by numbers, but not by enough numbers to do everything we want. I'm so glad you raised this point because I think a lot of people are frustrated because they don't understand that with control of House, Senate and White House why we haven't been able to do more faster. It's actually amazing, historical really, what Trump has done outside of legislative achievements, even the legislation he has passed had to be meticulously constructed like the tax cuts to pass with just 51 votes in the Senate under reconciliation, that's why he was so upset about the health care bill failing by 1 vote, he spent 5 months on it with nothing to show for it.

    We can't pass any immigration legislation with the slim majority we have in the Senate. None. We need 9 more Republican Senators to call our own shots or 9 Democrats to vote with US which will never happen on immigration.
