They don't govern. The Republicans pad the pockets of their Wall Street interests. That is all they have done leading up to the economic collapse of 2008 and it is all they have done since.
It is amazing that Americans simply don't see the forest for the trees. Does anyone believe Donald Trump would be in office long? Pence is hanging his hat on the Vice Presidency hoping it leads to more. If the Republicans have the Senate and House majority, President Trump will be removed as quickly as possible.
Congressional Republicans will not work with a President they disagree with. They had real experience with President Obama.

If someone had told me 10 years ago (click here) that the first general election presidential debate of 2016 would feature a CNN chyron that said “Awaiting the Historic Clinton-Trump Debate,” I would have thought you were crazy. If you had told me the polls would be tied going into that debate I would have thought the world had gone crazy. But that’s where we are and last night’s debate showed how far we’ve gone down the rabbit hole.
My preview of the debate yesterday focused on the fact that Trump’s “serious” debates at the end of the primaries, when there were fewer rivals, gave us some clues about how he might perform in the main event. He was aggressively incoherent and sometimes completely unintelligible, proving repeatedly that he had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
This has been obvious from the beginning of his campaign if you watched his rallies and interviews. It’s just that his personality is so remarkably bizarre that I think the lack of substance is easy to overlook. (I confess I have been somewhat surprised that so many people find his rambling “braggadociousness” appealing enough that they fail to notice that he is ignorant about everything important to the job of president.)...
