GOP, transform lame-duck Congress into working-duck session. Do it NOW!

Democrats will stop the GOP. Pelosi, or whoever becomes speaker, will convert the House into a giant rubber stamp that says, “HELL NO!”

Aside from an infrastructure bill, anything that slips past filibustering Democrats and passes the GOP Senate will be machine-gunned the second it reaches the House. The Trump/GOP legislative agenda, as such, dies in two months.

Instead, the Democrat House will launch big-government measures (even if they sink in the Senate), probe every curve of the Trump Administration, and possibly impeach President Donald J. Trump for the high crime of defeating Hillary Clinton, even though there is zero chance that 67 senators would vote to convict him.

House Democrats cynically will assure that nothing Trump wants goes anywhere. Then, come 2020, they will slam him as a do-nothing president. There is no bottom to the Democrats’ craftiness.

Facing these facts, Republicans should lead the mother of all lame-duck sessions. In fact, they should call it the working-duck session.

Sounds like someone is projecting again. This was the GOP playbook during the entire Obama term.

National reciprocity, it's the last chance

Thank you 4:59. Conservatives love to forget that the GOP did nothing but stonewall Obama for 8 years. Not saying it is the right thing to do but lets not pretend this hasn't happened before.
