I don't know what kind of bizaro world I've stumbled into where Republicans are defending a generous pension quasi government entity and democrats are defending the most cut throat capitalistic company in the US currently. Do we all just reflexively side either pro or anti Trump then proceed to rationalize that decision with whatever mental contortions are necessary to avoid any serious challenge to or growth in the way we view the world?

The Republicans aren't criticising Amazon, Trump does. Trump is a Republican in name only, in reality he is just Trump. He's literally too ignorant to possess or follow any consistent ideology. Instead, he just vents on Twitter about whatever he's last seen on TV that enrages him momentarily.

Trump is what they believe in. You don't get to come in here and pretend otherwise, just because you don't agree with him.
By 'Republican', are you talking about the Congressional Republicans, or the base in flyover country? If it's the latter, then yeah, Trump did do impressively, even though Ted Cruz held his own in several red states. But if it's the former, Trump to this day has trouble w/ them when he tries to push his own brand of non-Republican policies, be it tariffs on steel/aluminum, easing up on Russia (before the Salisbury poisoning of the Skripals) that are at odds w/ traditional GOP policies. Heck, there is no
Really? How is it that the senate, despite a Republican majority, has been unable to
- Get a single vote on repealing & replacing Obamacare?
- See through all his government nominees, including ambassadors?
- Pass immigration reform that included the wall, an end to the visa lottery and chain migration?
And aside from that, how does a Republican congress send him an omnibus bill that is filled w/ Democrat dreams, such as funding for a tunnel in NY, Planned Parenthood, a ban on using any money for the wal

I don't know. For a "fake republican" he sure seems to have the full backing of the GOP.
Republicans should not get to disown this asshat.

Because, no matter how much he likes to boast about it, he's simply not much of a dealmaker.
Seriously, how fucking useless do you have to be not to be able to pass healthcare reform when you control the house and the senate?

Dumbass, it was just explained to you in the very post you are replying to. It was the entire point of the post you replied to.
I'll speak it out: Trump does not control congress. The never trumpets do.

This was true at some point, but Trump and his supporters have taken over the party. One interesting book on this is Trumpocracy [amazon.com].
