    Explain how he "has control of the other three branches".

    You used to be much better at this before your online romance with Christiefan.

    Moving further to the right is not going to help the GOP.

    No problem, his party controls Congress, and as Chief Executive he controls his party, any President's dream to have his party have a majority in both Houses of Congress.

    And as you conservatives are so eager to tell us, he just appointed a conservative judge to the Court, restoring the 5-4 conservative split of the last decade

    Got anymore questions?

    That's what the conclusion of their autopsy after Romney lost and they tried to go more left. Trump was the outlier.

    But he doesn't control them. That is why they are coequal branches.

    And unless you are an idiot, it isn't surprising that McCuntell wants to see Trump fail. McCuntell is part of the swamp.

    You didn't know that?

    Moving to the right, or moving to the alt-right, is not a governing philosophy. It's not problem solving. It's simply a way to win elections by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

    How much further to the right do you want to go? State your policy goals with regard to moving rightward.

    Proof is in the pudding. The GOP controls all three branches of government and they cannot get anything accomplished. Trump has zero wins.
