But it will backfire Because the GOP really does not want change. There will be enough Dems running for congress who are smart enough to take the civil liberties side .....and flip the House! Then things can change. This all really proves POTUS was too timid for the times. ......Thus far........Play it safe. Hold out your hand.

His legacy depends now on doing everything humanly possible to flip the house and then twisting arms when necessary after he gets both houses
