The source of many of the problems we see in getting legislation through a nominally Republican Congress is that there are really at least two Republican parties. Or, to put it another way, the Republican Party is far from united.
This is obvious when you try to put two senators such as Rand Paul and John McCain in the same political party. It just doesn’t work. Except for routine procedural matters and non-controversial legislation, there are going to be conflicts that are going to prevent reforms and stifle the agenda on which President Trump campaigned and won.
The Democrats don’t seem to have this problem. They know how to whip members into line. Observe the massive corruption of the Obama administration and of Hillary Clinton. Yet the Democrats, especially party leadership, stick by them and run interference for them no matter what. It becomes difficult to imagine any crime, other than perhaps personal acts of violence, that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton could commit that would cause them to lose any support from their party.
We see the failure of the Republican Party to act as a cohesive force in the current debate over the President’s budget proposal.

McConnell should retire and spend his remaining days with his family.
Really, I don’t care about their tax returns.
Somebody needs to start investigating RINOs. Most of all people must quit returning them to Washington.
I saw this coming, Rino’s won’t allow it, what will they waste if there are tax cuts !
I think it’s time for McConnell to go, Along with some others!
It’s time to run a third party.. this establishment group of republicans do not want to work with trump to help the American people who voted Mr. Trump into office… we the people must help “drain the swamp ” !!!
