I mean what they can do I’ve said. What I expect is a lot more damage from the Trump administration. Democrats are generally on board with reigning the administration in and/or stopping it, depending on what happens.
Unfortunately the majority for most things sit with Republicans, so it will be slow getting them to respond to Trump. I expect a few Republicans will chime in from time to time, might help stop a few things. Of course Congress lacks the resources to enforce things, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens there.
Eventually Trump is going to go too far. I would argue he already has, but specifically he’s going to go too far for Republicans. The speaker, Johnson, is the one to watch. I think McConnell still has some sway, but he’s also clearly very ill physically. Actually Republicans that are usually quiet are probably the ones to watch first.
True, but I’m asking what they can do, and that’s far from clear. What do you suggest?
