8. That is one he can deliver on. He worked with N.J. Dems to fuck over the N.J. public employees.

He talked them into giving up cost of living increases for retirees, increasing contributions of current employees. In exchange, he was going to fund the pension programs.

The Dems bought into it.

The changes in the first part of the plan were instituted.

He defaulted on contributing to the pension plans.


There are DINO dems in Congress that would certainly be willing to work with him if it involves fucking over the environment, getting more guns into the gunstream, fucking over Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and so forth.
