In my opinion, the election of Trump and that magic 30% which is greater in certain states, has released the extreme alt right, here to fore reserved for Tea Party, etc and they are going to play this to the hilt in those areas where they have folks who will listen.
While those Republicans in congress are walking a real tight rope because of Trump, they wish for a Kelly who can clean that WH up a bit and shut Trump up. His policies are not nation crushing, but his antic, his mouth and his self indulgence are and they must be shut up quickly before it is too late.
However both parties are getting so extreme. Democrats have no leader per se to give direction and are rudderless.....Republicans also have no leader but they own the WH which can be either a blessing or a curse and only time will tell.
What ever happened to the reasoned statesmen and women who were elected based on character and positions on issues, not yelling and screaming and accusing.
We do not need a Republican health bill....we do not need a Republican immigration bill.....BUT we also do not need a Democrat version of either.....we need compromise and an AMERICAN health bill and an AMERICAN immigration bill. One of my biggest complaints during the passing of the ACA was the shutting out of one party.
Who in the hell thinks that ONLY one party has ALL the answers ? Each of them do and as long as they turn their back on each other, we are doomed to just be yelling and accusing.
We need someone to pull the country, starting with our elected officials TOGETHER and quickly.
At this point each simply blames the other with no thought.

It is the extreme alt right and the extreme alt left that voters voted against.. They didn't vote for Donald Trump. They voted against the extremism that was being offered. Many did not want the tyranny of the liberal political correctness where someone could not say a thing without being accussed of racism or bigotry or lack of compassion. Voters didn't want the very, very, conservative Christian right telling them the same thing on the other extreme.
Donald Trump wasn't and still isn't easy to take at the very least, but no one owns him. Most Americans wanted immigration changed or at least the laws followed and most Americans are not wanting Islamic Extremism on their soil. The voters were also sick of pie in the sky greenism that told the truth but had no realistic thing to do about global warming but to go to another country and throw our money out the window while all the others let us. There are many silent people who go to vote and don't march, protest or say much.
