Haha. He did get the job done this time. I hope he can keep bullying the idiots in his party.
There is the advantage of having someone not beholding to and barely a part of the Republican party being elected as president.
Trump is on a winning streak that would make Charlie Sheen blush.

Too bad Sheen's "winning streak" ended with him contracting HIV...
Not saying this will happen.....but if Trump turns out to be an extremely good president it wouldn't be the first time that a person whom almost everyone thought would be a joke of a president turned out to be a very good one.
Almost nobody thought that Harry Truman was up to the job when he took office, either.
I cannot remember a time when an incoming president was less restrained by the wishes of powerful forces within his own party. Trump is accountable, literally, only to the American people.....and I for one think that is a quite refreshing situation. We may finally be able to get something done in Washington.
I look forward to this continuing Trump Presidency* strategem:
1) Republicans in Congress propose something incredibly stupid and indefensible
2) Trump says, "good idea, but not time yet"
3) Congress says "Derp, ok, we'll do it later"
4) Trump takes credit for temporarily preserving status quo, rubes rejoice at his accomplishment.
so Trump IS going after Clinton, draining the swamp (questionable by giving Exxon and Goldman Sachs positions in cabinet), building a wall that Mexico pays for, banning Muslims, etc..
Isn't this some of what he "promised" to the American people? So you are saying he is accountable for this...he has called it a lot of good rhetoric or sound bites just a few weeks ago. What exactly is he accountable for to the American people in your opinion?
Changing the way government works in Washington. Replacing Obamacare. Securing our borders. Slowing the growth of the Welfare State. Different people have different priorities. And there seems to be some difference of opinion about what "draining the swamp" means to different people.
Don't take everything thing that Trump said literally. Whether you and the other hotshot WF grads on this board want to accept the fact or not, Trump is a lot more intelligent than you are. That's why he is going to be President of the United States in 17 days and all of you "think you know it all nobodies" are posting on a stupid message board.
Gotta give credit (to Trump) where credit is due. But also gotta give credit to all of the people who called their legislators to bitch up a storm. To see people engaged in the process again is a welcoming sight.

Credit to Trump for what? The only thing he admonished the Republican House for in that tweet was the timing of the move. He agreed that independent ethics watchdog "was unfair".
