Think about that. Handing over domestic and foreign policy decisions. What else is there?
Not much. But if I had to guess, I'd expect Gingrich and Giuliani to influence domestic and foreign policy, more than the VP.
Oh, well I feel much better.
With a GOP lock on Congress, this will be a mighty interesting and eventful first 100 days of Trump's presidency. I shudder to think about the mountain of pet GOP bills they will ram through in that short time, and Trump will sign every damn one of them. He'll play ball with the congressional conservatives to gain leverage when it comes time to lean on them for the non-conservative positions he advocated during the campaign -- all of those red meat promises he made to his supporters. Since the GOP establishment has revealed itself as the feckless, balls-less group of jackasses I always knew them to be, they'll have little choice but to roll over.
And the Democrats? Their opposition to all of this won't amount to a fart in the wind. Good job, guys!
