Exit Strategy, Part 1.

It's no accident that Speaker Pelosi has committed to a term of no more than two years as the most powerful Democrat in America. It exactly mirrors the remainder of Donald Trump's first term. Acting as the most powerful woman in the world in opposition to the most powerful man must have been irresistible.

 In a warning sign for the White House, a number of Senate Republicans offered tepid support for the hard-line stance taken by Trump, who is backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. While many Republicans said they'd continue to support McConnell and Trump for now, it was clear that support won't last indefinitely.

Day 711 of the Trump Occupation

This morning the President of the United States of America tweeted an attack on a fellow Republican and incoming Senator, Mitt Romney (R - UT). Senator-elect Romney published an op-ed in the Washington Post agreeing with many of the President's policies but sharply criticizing his "qualities of character."

The tweet includes a backhanded swipe at former Senator Jeff Flake (R - AZ) while falsely claiming Mr. Trump "won big" in 2016 by margin superior to Senator-elect Romney's.
