Trump Voters Want a Rubber-Stamp Congress

“Congress is a coequal branch of government empowered to make laws, control government spending and declare war. But according to Trump voters, the role of the legislative branch is to rubber-stamp the president’s agenda — and they don’t appreciate Republicans who deviate from the party line,” the New York Times reports.

“In two recent focus groups that quizzed older Trump voters from across the country about their views of Congress and congressional leaders, participants consistently praised lawmakers who displayed ‘loyalty’ to President Trump and disparaged those whom they viewed as failing to fall in line behind him.”
