Dispatch writer David M. Drucker dropped some truth on MS NOW\u2019s \u201cThe Weekend\u201d show on Saturday, explaining exactly why Republican leaders in the Senate are finally defying President Donald Trump by refusing to pass the SAVE Act.<\/p>\n

Passing the act, which critics say will severely constrict voter access, will require unprecedented moves in the Senate, including the dismantling of the Senate filibuster and the removal of the Senate parliamentarian. Neither of that\u2019s going to happen, however, because Republicans in the Senate can see the future whereas Trump \u2014 who is pushing 80 \u2014 sees very little future at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I find silly about this, but it kind of shows you where the President’s head is at \u2014 which is the same place it’s always at \u2014,\u201d he said suggestively, \u201cis that what Republicans do unto you today, Democrats can do unto you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo go ahead and fire the parliamentarian, go ahead and scrap the filibuster. Democrats are going to be in power again sometime soon. Look at the past 25 years. This goes back and forth. And they will trash this bill. They’ll [install] universal mail-in balloting. They’ll do all these things that will force Texas and Florida and Idaho and all these red states to govern elections the way they want. We just played ping-pong doing this. So, the whole thing is just ridiculous,\u201d Drucker said.<\/p>\n

Drucker added that Trump\u2019s time would be much better spent helping his party focus on economic issues to smooth Republicans’ slide into the midterms \u2014 only that\u2019s not going to happen, he said.<\/p>\n

Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kent.), who Trump had removed in the Republican primaries for daring to release the Epstein files, said on Thursday that Republicans can expect \u201can absolute shellacking\u201d in November because \u201cwe\u2019re wasting the opportunity that voters gave us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drucker agreed on Tuesday, writing that Republicans hoping for Trump to pivot to the economy would be better off spending their time hunting \u201cproof\u201d of the \u201ctooth fairy.\u201d The very next day, Trump stomped a Congressional effort to pass a housing bill that would make home ownership for affordable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am prescient, man,\u201d Drucker told the MS NOW panel. \u201c[Trump] is \u2026 a complicated political figure, but not a complicated man. He is singularly focused on his things that interest him and his grievances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[H]e is approaching this presidency doing everything that he ever dreamed he might want to do from the very beginning,\u201d Drucker added. \u201cHe never had any use for Congress from the very beginning. He never took well to criticism from voters, and so this is how he has been, and this is how he will be to finish out his last two and a half years.\u201d<\/p>\n
