Well, in the sense that he is implementing his vision, hes been quite successful in governing so far, but the brisk pace has put some real dents on the car. Today i talked to republicans in congress, and they describe a general view among their colleagues of criticism of basically every element of this executive order on immigration, the poor planning, the confused rollout, and the lack of a headsup to people even in the administration who should have been involved. What they worry about is not just the specific case, but how chaotic its going to be to work with this white house in the future. On the democratic side, in terms of governing, i talked to one house member today who said President Trump had so enraged democratic voters that it will be hard to work with democrats no matter what the issue because their constituents dont want democratic members of congress to cooperate. Pelley whats at stake in the Supreme Court nomination . During the campaign reluctant republicans often cited Donald TrumpsSupreme Court pick as the reason they were overlooking their doubts, and thats what this pick will do now, it will keep republicans knit together. And in a fight with democrats over the court, donald trump will be forgiven a lot of sins on other issues because his pick will determine the conservative direction of the court and the influence of law going forward.
