Republicans who publicly ripped Trump are now getting in line so muscling big-ticket items through the upper chamber using budget reconciliation shouldn’t be that challenging. Those bills, such as ObamaCare repeal, would only need 51 Senate votes to pass. But replacing ObamaCare, building a wall along the U.S. southern border and clearing a Supreme Court nominee will necessitate 60 votes.

That’s where Trump’s bully pulpit will come in, calling out Democrats from both red and purple states that he won on Election Day.

While Trump may not be up to speed on the nuances of the legislative process, those mechanics will be handled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Ryan.

Still, the fate of pending bills isn’t decided by tactics. It comes down to marketing and political muscle, which play to Trump’s strengths.

Trump will surely have a slew of critics of anything he wants to do. They will throw everything they have to kill his agenda.
