Any president is going to have to use EOs, and the dems are NOT going to take the senate in 20. Not unless a charismatic potus candidate emerges, and there doesn't appear to be one. But you may underestimate the ability of Warren to forge compromise. I'm not a huge fan, but âŠ.. Harris? I mean if it's not Biden the dems are pretty focked at this point.unless she plans on signing EO's which I'm against. She has a plan for everything she says, well she will be lame unless we
the Democrats take control of the Senate and if M. McConnel gets re-voted in , we can mute him as well.(wont that be a gift in itself)
Present to date tramp signed 117 EO's.
Tramp was anti EO's till he got the pen:
Iâm reminded of an Associated Press piece from April:
White House aides said that Trump will have signed 32 executive orders by Friday, the most of any president in their first 100 days since World War II. Thatâs a far cry from Trumpâs heated campaign rhetoric, in which he railed against his predecessorâs use of executive action late in his tenure as President Barack Obama sought to maneuver around a Republican Congress. Trump argued that he, the consummate deal maker, wouldnât need to rely on the tool.
âThe country wasnât based on executive orders,â said Trump at a town hall in South Carolina in February 2016. âRight now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He canât even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. Itâs a basic disaster. You canât do it.â
And as we discussed at the time, that just scratches the surface. In January 2016, for example, Trump told Fox News, â[T]he problem with Washington, they donât make deals. Itâs all gridlock. And then you have a president that signs executive orders because he canât get anything done. Iâll get everybody together.â In November 2015, in reference to Obama, Trump added, âHe doesnât work the system. That is why he signs executive orders all the time because he canât get his own people to go along.â A month earlier, Trump said, âLook at Obama. He doesnât get anything doneâŠ. Youâve got to close the door and get things done without signing your executive orders all the time. Thatâs the easy way out.â
Trump's views on the 'executive-order concept' have evolved
All the more reason we need the senate if a Dem does not get in.
I'm sorry but there's no way the dems win the senate back in 2020. Their best case is to hold the House and win the WH and then be able to run the off year elections as needing dems in the senate. The gop has a tough map to defend in 2022.
