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.

Exactly
Very accurate
Takes you along time to say nothing
Mr. McConnell, you are a pathetic excuse of a leader. You need to step aside for the good of our country. Every word that comes out of your mouth is seen as weak. Sir, you now appear weak to all republicans. 7 years and you pitiful republicans act the way you did this week. Pitiful!
You republicans have been so busy blocking our President that now you have injured (once again) our country. I want term limits! And that includes my senator (Shelby)
