The Heritage foundation has given Trump a list of potential bargaining chips to use to get votes he might need in Congress.

How? I mean, it is a list of things that conservatives like. But so what? Anyone who's spent a single day watching Fox News could come up with that list. It's not like it's a particularly useful thing to have a list that says that conservatives like tax cuts and dislike abortion.

The best way to find out the potential bargaining chips to use to get votes in Congress is to ask the Congressbeings what they want. Not to go out and buy Heritage's book on what Heritage wants. The second best way is to ask the Speaker and Majority Leader to find out what the Congressfolks want.

Again, it just reminds me of the UN's "Agenda 21," which conservatives got themselves into a lather thinking that it was the master framework for how liberals were going to run the U.S. When, in fact, it was just a list of policies promulgated by a group that had no measurable influence on U.S. policy....but because it happened to contain in that list of policies some things that progressives did want to implement, conservatives convinced themselves that Agenda 21 was the actual progressive platform. The master key to their agenda. When, in fact, actual Democratic lawmakers didn't care one bit what was in Agenda 21, and just pursued policies based on the specific politics for each of those policies.
