    Hard to pass laws when the don’t have a majority in the house, and the republican caucus isn’t really willing to play ball.

      I’ve seen enough administrations that do hold the house and senate still not be able to get anything done to know there is more to the story than this…

      The party infighting takes over and they still struggle to get anything done.

      Failing to repeal Obamacare after promising to for years yet once Trump was elected and Rs held the house and senate for two years still not being able to get it done comes to mind first. Though Ds have had similar failures too.

      This is why Trump doesn’t get the pushback he should when he says he’s going to be a dictator. People already think presidents are dictators.
