20. The difference, I believe, is that Congress would not kowtow to the Mascara Macho.

VDJance does not have whatever it is that Trmp has, which is a really low bar.

Remember, he was a one-term Senator only courtesy of his sugar daddy Thiel. Other Senators didn't think much of him, and know what all his weaknesses are. And every one of them knows he won't be around for long, so no lasting harm in bucking his policies, whatever they are this week. He can't throw his weight around because he doesn't have any.

On the campaign trail, he showed all the charisma of a moldering sponge, so don't expect a big wave of support, but rather a big wave of staying home on Election Day.
