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.

Put this old Bastard out to pasture. This sob is not the President. KOA, brnd over and KYAG McConnell
Term limits for congress is the only thing that will stop this self centered c**p.
He did not block anything Obama want. I wonder why?
The Democrats are imploding together.
He needs to be voted out of office come election time! I’m getting sick of him and his rebellious ways against my president! I’m a republican, but he needs to go.
And I also live in Kentucky, but we need another republican here to take his place that will stand for president trump and his agenda for America! I will never vote for a dam democrat, because they ain’t worth a pot to p**s in! They our cheater, lying,dirty scoundrels out to destroy America and everything it stands for!
Swamp monster
Mitch the$#%&!@*is what is wrong with the Republican Party. He should realize that he is the problem. Step aside and let a real leader take charge.
Missing the point. These guys are not RINOS. They really are the mainstream repub party.
Mitch if you can’t work with our president then don’t expect to ever be elected again. I remember when you first started out and I even worked at that time to get you elected. Back then you were actually a Republican with Republican values. I will not vote for you again as the 30 odd years you have forgotten your values and have deserted the party that gave you enough votes to be our senator. You need to retire as your ideas and actions have supported Obama who has ruined our country and you allowed it to happen. President Trump is trying to make America great again and has done more for our country than Obama did in 8 yrs. Now you refuse to support him. It is time to put you in the unemployment line. I am greatly disappointed in you so as far as my vote goes you are history.
