he has enough cunning, & machievelli, to play both sides on each other.

but you dont have enough brain cells to understand any of this.

There is one minor problem with this logic. There aren't very many moderates left in the house or senate and both parties tend to put their party and their desire to be in power above and beyond actually doing the job they were elected to do.

If Trump wins and the democrats manage to regain the Senate, they will do as the republicans did to Obama and say no to everything he wants to do out of spite. It worked for the republicans. They said no to everything, and when Obama did get things passed they had to use some shady tactics and the republicans screamed about it. . . and it helped them take back the House during the first midterm election. If the repubs still hold the House and Senate, the Democrats will filibuster everything.

So, the democrats will say no to everything and the far right will likely not work with Trump because they hate him and feel like he has hijacked their party.

With pissed of dems to the left and pissed of repubs to the right, Trump will be stuck in the middle with little power.

If, after the first midterm, the republicans make gains in congress and Trump has a decent approval rating the repubs might start working with him, but I won't be shocked if they try to sabotage him so they can run someone else against him after his first term.
