Trump will Cut Deals with Democrats

does_trump_know_04b_pelosi_reid_schumerTrump just makes the establishment palatable to people that are opposed to the establishment.

Maybe you think its a fine thing that Trump will cut deals with the Democrats, but probably not if you are a supporter of Trump, especially if you support much of his legislative agenda such as building a wall on the border. The Democrats he named—Pelsoi, Reid and Schumer—would never compromise on something acceptable to Trump’s supporters.

It is not clear here whether Trump knows what he’s doing from a Machiavellian view of acquiring power, but he does not seem to know what he is doing with regard to policy qua policy.

Trump Can’t Build the Wall because of D’s in the Senate

does_trump_know_03_cant_build_borderTrump can’t build the wall because even if he wins, the D’s will win the Senate or hold their ground. Any candidate will need a filibuster proof majority to get much of their agenda passed that doesn’t fall within executive power. The D’s are not going to make a deal to build the wall, and neither will R’s like Lindsey Graham.

The wall is only, you know, one of the main reasons people are supporting him.
