Nuke option

The prison reform bill passed with by-partisan support and Trump gets most of the credit. This is an example of what can happen but is not likely to happen again. Both parties would like an infrastructural bill and lower pharma cost bill but Trump would get credit for those and use these accomplishments in the upcoming election. This is not just one party as both try to keep the other parties president from any successes. The two big bills in the past ten years have been Obamacare passed with a majority in the house and filibusterer majority in the senate and tax reform passed with a majority in both houses. In both cases the credit went to the White House. It is likely that the next party to have control of both houses will vote to eliminate the filibuster in the senate as they have with judges the so called nuclear option.
