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.

McDonald sucked up to so many Democrats those Republicans are the scum of the Earth and they love living in the shadow of those demo rats
Kentucky, vote him out or recall him .He’s not conservative.
Time to vote these old goats out!
Maybe one way to get the budget at a “revenue neutral” level would be to start paying members of congress for time spent on the job, cut benefits, do a complete overhaul of the current congressional retirement package.
WTF is wrong with Brain-Dead McConnell?
Dump this hack and get a true leader.
Would you please recall this traitor!!
Maybe it’s time we the people go to Washington and take back our government
Maybe it’s time to retire McConnell
McConnell is part of the “old guard” that did anything but fattening their wallets and egos!
