that really speak to the conscience of republicans, it s going to be over in a matter of days or even less. you know, one thing republicans really have to consider here on the hill is what do they want to do with the remainder of this presidency? i hear a lot of negative terms. we want this president to stop things, that s the dearegulator agenda, that s these judges. all i hear about legislation is they want to pass this new trade deal. that s essentially it. made some nebulous language about infrastructure. that s really it. is that all you want to do with the remainder of this presidency? u this is what it s going to be tr now until the next term, if there is a next term. what is the republican agenda on the hill? right now it is running block for donald trump and whatever his whim is of the day, and that s not a governing agenda. yeah, that s not a governing agenda, and they are frozen in place by the president s by
