So is this the start of, well, bacterial cell division on a national level? White House spokesman Sanders:
Q There are many Republicans who believe that getting something on the Republican side is not going to be easy; that the divisions that we see between the center and the right in the Republican Party will become only deeper. What gives you confidence that this will actually happen?
MS. SANDERS: With all due respect, I don’t think the American people elected Congress to do things that were easy. They elected them to make a government that works, to work properly, and to work for American people. And that’s their job. And if they can’t do it, then they need to get out of the way and let somebody else who can take on a heavy lift and get things accomplished.
She didn’t target the Democrats, she simply said Congress. And it was a theme of that press conference. I see two possibilities here.
First, she may be setting up the current GOP members of Congress who are not conforming to President Trump’s desires for removal at the next election. This would be an internal revolution, but it could be difficult. This is, obviously, a warning shot across the bow of the non-conformists.
So the second possibility is that we’re seeing the beginning of the shearing off of Trump and Trump’s allies in the GOP into another party. How this will go for a President who continues to be deeply and embarrassingly unpopular is hard to see as successful. However, given Trump’s inability to use his position to engineer his way to what he wants, which is the mark of an incompetent politician, he may see this as an alternative approach.
But it would certainly make his job easier if his closest allies happened to also occupy key positions in Congress. Not to mention it would appeal to his immense ego, and shore up his insecurities.
The Party Of Trump.
