Will the Repug's jettison Trump, now that they have their cherished tax cut?

[Orangeutan]

It's been speculated that they were just keeping him around to rubber-stamp the bill.

1. Not yet

Once they get him to sign off on cutting all social programs...then they won't need him anymore!!!

2. Will Trump resign after he gets his BILLION $$$$ Christmas bonus (tax break)

and play golf 365 days next year instead of only 100?

3. Nope - one more SCOTUS appointment and he'll have fulfilled his contract. n/t

4. Not a ridiculous idea. After the tax bill is signed, R's are going to start thinking Election 2018.

They can't all retire and go to work for Fox. Dumping Trump and blaming everything bad on him is an attractive strategy.

5. Trump is a useful idiot to them like he is to Russia

[Kablooie]

6. No. They still need him to take the blame in the future for entitlement destruction.

Next year will be intense complaining about the deficit they created and solve it by eliminating all social security nets.
If you're not rich you should die. That's the philosophy.

7. i never understood this argument. any republican in that office would have been at least that useful

donnie did very little leadership or arm-twisting on this piece of legislation, pence or any other republican would have been at least as effective in terms of getting a tax cut for the rich passed, or at a minimum, signed.

they needed donnie to defeat hillary, so that certainly explains a big chunk of his support during the campaign and for the election itself, but he could have died or resigned 3 minutes after being sworn in and the tax bill would have passed just as easily, if not more so.
