My grades.....

[OKSTATE1]

Republicans - F - Football is in their hands and they are not getting legislation passed.

Democrats - F - No message, obstructionists, prefer to listen to themselves talk in hearings and blame Trump and build conspiracies. Hate dealers.

Trump - C minus - Is actually trying to do what he campaigned on, love or hate his policies, he is keeping his word. If he would STFU and just keep his head down and work and not take the bait every time someone slings mud at him he could raise his image drastically. Needs to stay away from commenting on stupid stuff and let some things go, he needs to keep focused on issues and try to build more consensus.

MSM - Below an F, they are an enemy of the state. They lie to the American people and are intentionally influencing politics in this country, they have done far more to ruin American politics than anything I have seen as it regards Russia. We do not have journalists anymore, just sick minded editorialists that think they are smarter than everyone else and knows what is best for us. Elite, arrogant, and totally un-American. They should be ashamed of themselves, how can they look mom in the eye and say they are professional and good people?

The Swamp is a difficult place to drain. No wonder all the F's reside there.

Looks about right.

Hard to argue with OP. I would say the total lack of action by the republicants is also part of Trump's mediocre grade. Probably a B- if he had any help.

Seriously the republicans are useless.

While I agree that Trump shoots himself in the foot with a lot of his tweets, I'm not sure I agree that he should "keep his head down." That's what Rupublicans have done for the last 50 years and it has contributed to the political mess. Democrat rhetoric should always receive a response, albeit a rational, calm, measured response. Trump responds in angry emotion which only perpetuates the situation, and urges the Democrats to go even further in their accusations.
