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.

Why weren’t you worried for EIGHT YEARS when Obama increased debt from 10 TRILLION to near 20 TRILLION???? Please, Lord, let the constituents vote this man out of office!!!!
This Bastard needs to go
Vote him out
This old RINO is corrupt and greedy! So tired of him!
The “majority leader” seems to have ideas of his own and has his own agenda for bargaining with members of his own party. I remember during 44’s reign, McConnell held out on the government shut down and scored a bunch of stuff for his state. THAT’S NOT WHY HE’S THERE. He needs to go.
Kentucky must be proud.
Total disgusting, can’t stand having control of house, senate, White House, and all he thinks about is blocking instead of making it work for the people. Weak spineless human along with other.
moron who gets nothing done for the people in the country.
Been saying he needs to go and Ryan too. I don’t trust either one of them. Ryan is a snake oil salesman and McConnell is just a doofus.
I hope McConnell rips his$#%&!@* open jumping back and forth over the fence. Time for him to circle up the wagons of the has beens from both sides and head out to the pasture! You’ve out lived your usefulness!
