      2. Paul Ryan & Mitch McConnell have huge power over Trump for simple reason: he's done impeachable things & they can remove him at any time

      3. On the other hand, Trump is not without power. He has rabid fan base of about 40% of GOP. Without them, party would be severely damaged

      4. The dynamic we've seen in last year is Ryan/McConnell let Trump do anything (I mean anything) to keep party together. They want power

      5. In practice, Trump's real lever is GOP pols are scared shitless of GOP base. They impeach Trump & would face party revolt.

      6. That makes impeachment at hands of GOP unlikely unless Trump becomes so unpopular Ryan can dump him without cost

      7. What's more likely is modus vivendi: Ryan let's Trump run lawless kleptocracy, Trump signs off on Ryan's legislative agenda.

          I still think they have something on Trump with Pence as VP. Pence would absolutely sign off on Ryan's agenda just the same.

          I think even Trump knew he made a mistake picking Pence. You could tell he regretted it and I think this is why.

          8. I think what the Dems have to do (what Clinton failed to do in election) is make clear how tied Trump is to Ryan/McConnell.

          9. Ryan/McConnell should be held responsible for Trump's grifting, Trump for any austerity program Ryan/McConnell pass. 1 coin, 2 sides.

          Trump wants money and self-aggrandizement. Perfectly compatible with what Ryan and McConnell want.

          There's a substantial chance Trump will erratically impede Ryan's agenda tho, through pique or dominance or base-pleasing or some goofy idea

          Maybe he won't care at all. Or maybe he'll attack the Congressional GOP when it starts doing politically unpopular things.

          Which is why the D strategy should be to organize against Ryan hard.

          this is basically saying Ryan is just as bad as trump. Is this what it takes to be a politician now? What a disaster. 😣
