Breitbart – The Republican establishment will use the veiled threat as leverage to win concession after concession from the Trump White House.<\/p>\n

What are the key policy differences that motivate congressional opposition to the Trump agenda? There are at least four Trump campaign promises which, if not dropped or severely compromised, could generate Republican support for impeachment: Trump\u2019s Supreme Court appointments, abandoning the Trans Pacific Partnership, radical rollback of Obama regulatory projects, and real enforcement of our nation\u2019s immigration laws.<\/p>\n

On regulatory rollback, Congress can legitimately insist on negotiating the details with Trump. But on the other three, immigration, the TPP, and Supreme Court nominees, Trump\u2019s campaign promises were so specific \u2014 and so popular \u2014 that he need not accept congressional foot-dragging.<\/p>\n

Yet, while the President-elect \u2018s transition teams at the EPA, State Department and Education Department are busy mapping ambitious changes in direction, Congress\u2019s Republican leadership is busy doubling down on dissonance and disloyalty.<\/p>\n

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced this week he will oppose Trump\u2019s tax reforms.
\nSenator Lindsey Graham is joining Democrats in sponsoring new legislation to protect the \u201cDreamers\u201d from deportation after their unlawfully granted legal status and work permits expire.
\nSenator Susan Collins will oppose any restrictions on Muslim refugees, no matter how weak and inadequate the vetting to weed out jihadists.
\nSenator Lamar Alexander aims to protect major parts of Obamacare, despite five years of voluminous Republican promises to \u201crepeal and replace\u201d it if they ever had the power to do so.
\nAnd then, on the House side, we have the naysayer-in-chief, Speaker Paul Ryan, who refused to campaign with Donald Trump in Wisconsin, and who has vowed to obstruct Trump\u2019s most important and most popular campaign promise \u2014 an end to open borders and vigorous immigration law enforcement.<\/p>\n
