And then when we have a democratic president he/she will declare a public health emergency and create universal health care. Careful what you wish for. We have checks and balances built into the system for a reason. We don't want Presidents of either party declaring fake emergencies to get what they can't get through constitutional processes.
This is a false dilemma
When has conservative reluctance to do so ever prevented progressive government overreach? Who weakened the filibuster first and for what 'noble' purpose? The idea is out of the box, the Democrats will do it whether Trump does or not
