It would splinter the GOP. I no long believe Trump to be this evil, nazi, egomaniac that the Left makes him out to be. An arrogant person and loone ..yes.
In all honesty a Democratic super majority is the last thing this country needs followed closely by a Republican Super Majority. So, I hope he drops it. All sides of this have been corrupt.
Pelosi and Schumer have showcased their hypocritical nature and elitism. GOP is spineless. Trump is a stubborn ass hole.
Seriously, I have yet to see a quality presidential candidate in years.

Not sure if you understand what I stated. I stated the only way he can move funds allocated by Congress is by using the NEA. What part of my post stated differently. The problem is that there is no minimum time frame that the house has to wait to end a NAE. They can immediately vote to end the NAE as soon as he declare it. The Senate has 15 days to vote on ending the NAE and 60 votes votes is not required only majority.
Who cares if Trump is some evil nazi or whatever. I just believe he is an idiot thats it. He is an opportunist who cares only for himself. He has lived a life of a con man and nothing has changed. 6 bankruptcies states he probably isn't someone I want running a business let alone the government. From the countless failed business, his gut is something I definitely do not want making decisions that effect my life.
I do not want Dems or Republicans having total majority but I do like things moving and not getting stalled like they were under Obama. I happen to have liked the 2 years given to the Dems when Obama first entered office and the 2 years with Trump and the GOP. You really cannot get a good understanding for each party unless they can actually pass some bills. In both instances we get to see how each party works and get or not get things done.
My assessment of the situation between Pelosi and Schumer is that they are playing the long game and Trump gave it to them with his obsession with the wall. He put himself into a corner where and allowed the Dems to have s strong front against him forcing him into options that on the surface appear tempting but long term will cause havok for the GOP in the near term and futurew

It wasn't meant as a rebuttle, but I definitely phrased it in a way that can be read as such. Apologies. I Know the GOP would help block him as 70% of Americans do not want a wall. The Judicial Branch could even slow him. At this point he is standing on something that less than 30% want right now.
They are playing the long game. Trump, unless he builds a wall, could lose if the right Republican challenged him in the primary. Which is why I think he is in a mode of panic. He isn't an idiot, idiots dont manipulate the system like he has.
I see your point about the majorities. After seeing both I wish that we could just take the best of each party and abandon their worst and most over reaching policies.
Sorry for beingso aggressive politics frustrates me because neither party follows the Constitution very well. Well, we haven't in 60+ years.
I will be honest the list of extreme left policies from Democrats being championed and some passed are quite concerning to me. I really do not want them to have a super majority until they are humbled a little bit. Trump has emboldened them because its all but certain he will ruin the GOP's credibility.
