And we'll see where the court decides to actually stop him. But politically, it's going to be decided at the ballot box and whether or not a lot of the things that Trump winds up doing seems to go too far with people or if people like what he's doing.

I don't think that's wholly accurate, to be fair to Democrats here, because I don't think the Democrats have the same powers that Republicans did have. And I think the Democrats tried to go through the Congress way more than Trump is trying to go through Congress. Trump has done everything so far by executive order, by executive actions. A lot of this is reshaping the federal government.

Democrats got rid of that because of how much obstructionism that Republicans used in trying to get judges or cabinet appointees through. So I do think that there needs to be a little bit of education that goes on about what actually Democrats are able to do.

But Republicans would say that's not the case when you look back on somebody like Harry Reid, the former, you know, Senate Democratic leader who was able to procedurally spar pretty well and hold his own with Mitch McConnell.
