  1. No appeasement. No deals.

    Re-read your history of the Third Reich: Hitler used shrewd political horse-trading, not violence, to rise to power. Authoritarians grab power by making deals with weak-minded, conventional politicians. They charm them, they take advantage of them, and eventually they stab them in the back. Trump’s business dealings show that he exactly fits this profile. We have to be as thoroughly obstructionist of Trump as the Republicans were of Obama. We have enough senators to filibuster, so we refuse to pass his laws and budgets. We do not confirm his Supreme Court nominees for his full four years in office, just as John McCain said he would do for Hillary Clinton. We’ve learned from the Republicans of the last eight years that members of Congress pay no political price for obstructionism. This should be a no-brainer.

    1. I just read a quote somewhere from Orin Hatch. He said there is no way he will vote to unravel Medicare without Democrat support, because the Republicans would need Democratic cover. Otherwise the public would see the move as entirely partisan and it would backfire on all the GOP pols who voted for it.

      And they would need his vote to make it happen.

      Orin Hatch, of all people.

      So even the Republican senators are finding ways to stand up to this nonsense, even if it is for their own reasons.
