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.

John McCain needs to go spend the rest of his days with his family. He is an embarrassment to his party.
A two face cowards god will punish you for this

Remove him; he is no leader, just an old holdover who should have been subject to term limits.
Their are not two Rep parties. Their are Democrats in the Rep party. I think it’s safe to say all politicians are liberals. They all think government is the answer. They all believe let’s take the Peoples money and we will manage it for our good. Just like Obamacare, Obamacare was never about healthcare, it was about taxes. An the Rep want the money too.
“Tuesday with Bloomberg News that the nation’s “alarming” debt requires an approach that would balance tax cuts with new sources of revenue to avoid changing overall government receipts.”… Funny he didn’t include reducing government spending as one of the options he mentioned to help achieve it.
