(34,648 posts)There would need to be a house and senate with enough democrats in very blue districts to get ANY of his agenda through. Gerrymandering prevents this. The fact that he has no support in the house or senate is a hurdle that he cannot jump. He is calling out those Establishment dems daily, why would they help him? How long do you think people will wait for this change and these things he offers? Obama got a month before people were all over him.
Moderate dems have been getting an earful from him, conservative democrats too, he onky has his base to rely on to forge this revolution. There will be democrats nd republicans fighting him on his agenda, this nation is not made for swift progress. If nothing gets through after four years there will not be four more. People who are moderate dems will not be interested in helping him run again, primary will probably be the result.
We had a healthcare fight. It was brutal. I personally am not interested in fighting that again. Many are not n are proud of what we accomplished.
