      1. Trump's tweets this morning are good occasion to consider fact he has no affirmative program: can only attack & destroy. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871725780535062528 …

      2. Trump is president but he's governing like a Fox News heckler in Obama era, deriding government: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/871675245043888128 …

      3. Trump's "destroy not create" approach (in words of Sen. Blumenthal) deeply over-determined.

      4. Trump & his team are deeply inexperienced, so don't actually know how to do things.

      5. But problem goes beyond Trump: GOP has unified gov't but is factionalized on major issues (notably health care) so can't reach consensus

      6. GOP is so used to being party of obstruction that they've lost ability to govern. Has deep roots:https://twitter.com/normwilner/status/871727242577104896 …

      It started with Gingrich. Conservatism as anger and resistance, a perpetual campaign of opposition. Ask them to govern and they fall apart.

      7. To see this as just a Trump problem is to miss the point. Trump is president because he has GOP behind him & embodies who they are.

          Dear America, this is how a lot of actual "businesses" are run. You don't actually want a country run like a private business.

          Long ago the GOP latched on to Reagan's, "government is the problem" snippet and mistook that as the Gipper's essence.
