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.

So? Draft more modest legislation that a majority of Senators can agree upon. “Comprehensive” legislation always contains features (and corruption) upon which many will never agree.
They never have time to do something small right on the first time, but they have time to do it wrong over and over again for a decade and sometimes more.
Will he use blocks of cocaine from the shipping corp he runs? His excuse was”inlaw”. Nope. Get the rope.
Time for Mitch to do his job like he ran on to appeal and replace obama care if he’s not going to keep his promise he needs to resign
This P.O.S. should resign. Every time he opens his mouth, lies fall out. You should be ashamed. The people you work for elected a president. Help him do what we elected him to do, or get out of his way. I hope you lose your job in the next election. Do your job or get out!
They are all utterly corrupt and totally vile
Do we need to call out the republicans now like we did on healthcare, find their comments and voted while the last admin was in place. See having it on video insures We The People can keep reminding you Washington is not a ruling class in America anymore.
SHAME, SHAME !!!!
F**e
Enough of these democrat lights. We want conservative leadership.
You guys better get your c**p together or this will be your last term!
