What will Congress do if Trump wins?

They all hate the guy. Will they just completely ignore the fact that he is President?

Or will they just continue to be their usual obstructionist selves and just stop everything he tries to accomplish.

I'm not too sure he even has any idea what needs to be accomplished. I don't think he has any idea what the job is. If that's the case Congress will be left to run everything and that would be another complete disaster. No wonder Europe and the rest of the world is so worried about all this. He doesn't have a clue what is going on in the US or the rest of the world.

That would be a total disaster.

What really scares me is that a bunch of psychopaths like the Cheney, Rumsfeld gang will get ahold of him and start running things themselves just like happened with Bush.

It's pretty important that we stop him.

Quit fighting with each other and go after him
