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.

What a hippocrit, they did nothing when obama raised the budget threefold, never one voice from the Republicans, or Dems, OBAMA was giving away money. Now the Reps are using their voice against a president who put the ahead in Congress. It is time the Republican constituents really speak out very loud. They are not a united body, they are all corrupted and accountable to their own LOBBYISTS, and collusion with the Dems. Speak loud. And vote them out.
The democrats don’t have the division problem because they are all crooked
See ya mitch
Time for this clown and his circus to get out!
Vote this pos out!
This is another useless POS that has to go.
Get rid of Mitch
Establishment !!!!! Term limits !!!!!!!
If he screws up tax reform or tax reduction…. oh my gosh. Trump may have to call for all his supporters to change over to the Independent party & vote Independent for everything. Eventually maybe the party could build up to beat both Dems & Repubs.
Vote them out! Do not vote for any incumbent period!
