Trump and both major parties are in quandary’s.
Donald Trump is the president-elect.
Republican federal office holders’ quandary will be to behave as they have previously proposed or significantly compromise with, (if not actually accepting) Democrats’ proposals which they had for the Past eight years been preventing from being enacted into federal law.
Democrat federal office holders’ quandary will be to behave responsibly or behave as the Republicans did for the past eight years. During those eight years Republicans wouldn’t even permit passage of bills they themselves had previously advocated and/or proposed.
President Trump is expected to eliminate or modify many, (if not most) existing federal executive orders when he takes office; U.S. presidents conventionally do so when they take office. Beyond that there’s significant constitutional limits to what a USA president can proactively accomplish by employing only executive orders.
It‘s difficult if not almost impossible to pass a bill in the U.S. Senate if even one senator wishes to obstruct a bill’s passage; it’s almost impossible to do so if there’s a few senators dedicated to halt a bill’s passage.
Republican’s senate majority is a plurality of one.
President Trump is going to need help from both political parties and my hope is they will behave more responsibly during Trump’s administration.
Consider the PPACA; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: All or almost all Republican office holders and candidates including Donald Trump pledged to eliminate the medical care act.
Now President-elect Trump states that he’ll replace it with “something better” for everyone AND will retain the entitlement of insurance regardless of pre-existing medical conditions and keeping your children on your family plan until they’re 25.
I doubt that could be done with Republican Party’s concepts and I doubt Republicans wish to expand Medicare’s eligibility ages to replace PPACA.
Respectfully, Supposn
