    Which policies are you referring to? Improving the economy? Getting rid of ISIS? Improving trade deals? Can you not answer the most basic questions?

    You seem to be symbolic of the leftists we see chanting slogans in the streets and having absolutely nothing of substance in their little minds.

    I am sorry if my refusal to accept the premises underlying your question
    It worked well enough for the Dems to retake the House in the first place. We just applied the tactics that the Pubs in Congress used after losing Congress in 2008. The entire goal was to obstruct Obama and it worked. Obama was re-elected, but he was allowed nothing legislatively after the tea party surge in 2010. Just say 'no' to every single Presidential initiative. We learned.

    Calling it what makes you happy is good.

    Actually, the Taliban has made a resurgence in Afghanistan, so Trump is just continuing the game of Wack-a-Mole that Bush and Obama played.

    Improving trade deals - everyone agrees it was pretty much just changing the name of the deal from before.

    Improving the economy? All he's done is not screw up the trend from the previous 6 years and had nothing to do with the tax bill other than signing it.

    Long term? He's pushed us out of trade deals with the Pacific Rim countries, so they've started to join together to get their own deals. He's been Putin's dream as far as weakening NATO and handing over Syria. His role in Brexit may still haunt the US economy for a decade. the stock market has gone negative for the year - signaling investors no longer trust future returns on the Trump economy.

    It will be another year before we see what Trump has actually accomplished - or not.

    Is it safe to venture out into the ruins yet?
