If the GOP still control both houses after the Nov election does it

[CK_John]

matter who shows up in the oval office.

1. Of course it does

because if you give them a GOP President...there will be no stopping them

[Jackie Wilson Said]

3. Kinda think that would be obvious, right? Just imagine 3 new Scalia's

[Maeve]

2. Yes

Someone who will veto their shit. And that won't be Drumpf

[KeepItReal]

4. It won't cost Debbie Wasserman-Schultz her job running the DNC

Just another day at the office for her.

[WhiteTara]

5. Even more so.

Donald Trump choosing the SCOTUS would be a disaster for generations. Can you imagine Tom Cotton on the Court? It's stomach churning.

[KamaAina]

6. You bet your life.

Literally. Bernie or Hillary would have veto pens and use them, as Obama does today. Trump, on the other hand, would basically have a rubber stamp.

7. You're wrong.

The president has veto power, the power to nominate federal judges and the SCOTUS, and he has the power of the bully pulpit, and executive orders, also foreign treaties and agreements. He has emergency powers, and he can draft legislation and send it to congress, and lets face it, our president is the de facto leader of the free world and he has the power to do great, and terrible, things.

Also, there a good chance the Dems will take the Senate back because the Rs have more seats up for reelection. Even if it doesn't change the Rs don't have a veto proof majority in the Senate.

8. compare the Bush years

to the Obama years,. buff said.
