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.

McConnell and Ryan need to go along with McCain and Graham. Please vote these people out of office come next election time. They are as bad as the liberal Dems.
Poser republicans are the problem . actually like it says, we have two parties within the republicans. Also liars who run on one ticket and then vote another. McCain, Collins, and Murkowski are all liars and did not support the voters who put them in office. pay attention and vote in primaries, vote out these fossils that are causing gridlock in our country, thats on both sides of aisle
I’m sick and tired of this. Take care of the the American people
McConnell is useless. He supported almost anything the dems wanted and blocks republican progress. Time for him to go.
Get rid of Mitch. Enuff of him
Vote these dinosaurs out. Lets repeal their lavish benefits, im sure Flint, Chicago, New York could use some money.
By the way, them cities are controlled by which party now? Yea, drain the swamp, Republicans and Democrats.
