'Beautiful name': Trump announces Gulf of Mexico will get new, pro-America revamp

Let’s take the wall and securing our Southern border. The President sees that as a priority. The legislature can either agree or disagree. If they agree, they will pass legislation, such as funding, to support the President’s priority. If they disagree, they won’t pass legislation to fund the border wall.

The President can’t tell Congress what to do. He can tell them his priorities, but they are free to do what they want.

Well aside from the fact that securing the border is part of the gop platform i understand how separation of powers work. Marching order is a platform, it’s overall direction. That he leaves it to them to figure out how to work out funding etc doesn’t change the fact that the direction comes from him. You are overthinking it.

Actually, I’m simply responding to the silly notion that a GOP representative would jump when Trump tells them to jump. :+1:

@Sknyluv implied as much way back in post #17 of this thread.

Or he’ll primary them….

As I’ve stated often. Trump has mixed success with primarying representatives. The voters, not Trump, have the final say.

What you just posted is a ridiculous denial of truth.

They will if they want to get reelected.

And no funding help.

Once again Trump has mixed success in this area. If voters truly like a candidate, the candidate will be reelected, despite Trump’s best efforts to prevent it.

No, Trump has mixed results getting them elected.

What are his results getting rid of them?

mixed

Name one that survived.

Lisa Murkowski. She defeated Donald Trump-endorsed GOP rival Kelly Tshibaka

Are we talking about endorsed? I’m not.

Sounds like we might be talking past each other. Maybe you could clarify what you are looking for.

Looks like you’re switching.

Now you’ve really lost me. :thinking:

Is Biden the head of the Democratic Party? You don’t believe that, do you? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

He wasn’t all that successful doing that the last time around … Fact is, primary election results were pretty much the same as one could expect without his opinion on who should be ousted.
