I’m not sure what that has to do with what I wrote?
The Republican congresspeople will agree with him on making the wealthy more wealthy, and erasing things done by the Evil Kenyan. Those things will get done.
Again, I (genuinely) don’t see what that has to do with what I wrote?
I don’t think he will always be stuck trying to be centrist with a Republican congress; I think if it makes money, or deletes something of Obama, they will agree on it. Apparently constituents are giving congressmen hell over the Affordable Care Act, and their votes on such large numbers (forgive me) trump Trump’s and their wishes.
Perhaps I misunderstood you.
Simplifying my point: For Trump to become a centrist and work with Democrats he’d have to preserve and further initiatives begun by Obama, which is anathema to him. If he could execute his predecessor and erase his name from the history books, he’d do it in a New York minute.
Plus, he’s been marinating in the rightwing sewer (Fox, Infowars, etc.) for decades. Leopards, spots, etc.
Ah, well Is say that if your conception of “centrism” is doing the occasional liberal thing, then yes he’d have a hard time working with Democrats. But leftish things are not centrist things, so that’s not really an issue. For example, most Democrats would probably be perfectly happy to scrap Obamacare for a reasonable alternative that actually made sense. Obama was hamstrung by what he could actually pass using only one party. A dual-party measure can make larger leaps.
