Schumer: Trump speech to Congress will be the ‘usual bluster and blame’

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi believes a sizable portion of President Donald Trump’s supporters will eventually turn their backs on him.

Congress’ top two Democrats on Monday delivered their “prebuttal” to President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress, outlining reason after reason why Democrats can not support anything they expect the president to propose. “It doesn’t matter what he said”.

On the Affordable Care Act, for instance, he said his party was willing to work on making the law better, but Mr Trump would consider only repeal.

Steve King, who was hoping to hear about a balanced budget amendment during Trump’s remarks described the speech as “terrific” otherwise.

“I’ll say yes when he comes up with something that really helps working people and says, ‘I want to work with Democrats”.

But – and this is very important – she wants you to know how “very proud” she is of the dignity displayed by Democrats who sat and listened to the President’s speech.

“Under the health care plan or lack of plan in our country before Obamacare she would have been denied coverage because she would have been considered a pre-existing condition, ‘” said East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell.

“They all stood up and cheered but I still think they don’t have a plan”, Franken said. While they said they will reserve final judgment for the point when it becomes clear where specific spending cuts will come from, they voiced worries about the prospect of slashing spending on educational and environmental initiatives, and other areas.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3 District, created a tweet-storm of criticism during the hour-long speech.

That makes House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s assessment of her colleagues’ behavior quite puzzling.

Ellison indicated he would not work with the president unless he changes not just his tone, but his actions. “(Trump’s executive order) makes our country less safe not more safe…it’s an ISIS recruiting tool”. “You can count on that”.
