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.

I agree Nora.
Nothing will change & both parties will remain useless to the American people until we wise up vote the career politicians out & put term limits on them. Only way to fix Washington & make it actually work for the people that elect them.
I can’t wait to vote these POS out! This one, and POS Paul Ryan! At the rate they are going, they will have destroyed the last bit that Hillary didn’t get too!!
Sadly his state just rerhinoed him back in Ofc, guessing every demo voted for him. He’s beyond an embarrassment to America.
Trump keeps putting these generals in Ofc., we will have a working dedicated American govt returning.
You get the$#%&!@*out also! See those trump rallies, they’ll be thier in Kentucky to kick your sorry$#%&!@*out. You only care about Obamacare job made in London Kentucky you got when you forced this shot down our throats!
