I think the only way it would backfire is if we think he has changed and is now on our side. He's kinda like a slot machine, sometimes it hits but most of the time you just get screwed.

So rules went out the window for me when Mitch McConnell violated the constitution and denied the American people their choice for the SC.

Unless a liberal takes over the WH, rights are gone for everybody but white christian males

They are working for us, Trump just happened to (temporarily) agree with them.

for the casual viewer it looks like the way things should be (getting SOMETHING done) and don't worry they still don't like Trump.

I never, ever make a bad "deal" with the evil forces in the universe. As for the leadership in the party, it's their call, not mine.

They told him what they wanted & he acquiesced.

No sense looking for a problem where there is none.

never trusts him to keep his word, we'll be fine. As long as he's willing to give us exactly what we want with only a pat on the head and some good press in return, I'm good.
