    The Republicans are now fundamentally an opposition party. Their problem now is they control all three branches of government.

        They did a great job of opposing themselves today.

        That's a great insight. They just don't know how to govern. Period. Which is really really bad news for the rest of us.

        Republicans are an opposition party in the sense that some (usually annoying) people are reflexively contrarian.

        The Republican approach to domestic policy is basically exactly the same as your approach to foreign policy. :-P

        so, bizarrely, Trump may turn out to be a lame duck president inside 100days of taking office, as GOP ignores him...?

        They are in opposition of the people they are supposed to govern. Not a good place for the people.

        @johnsalmond We've had exactly the same situation in Australia since the 2013 election, and it's been a disaster.

        The Republicans have been an opposition party (which in their case means 'oppose everything') for 8 years+ #Spottheadult
