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 doesn’t he just step down
Another worthless POS.
I have always thought he was a democrat and nothing he has done or hasn’t done has changed my mind! We need new leadership!!!
This McConnell is an entrenched part of the sewer that Trump called the swamp
You want to improve the debt situation? Get McConnell, McCain, Ryan, Reid, Waters, Warren, and Pelosi out of office. That’d be a great start. They are all money wasted.
Agree
McConnell and McCain and Ryan are all tyrants and need to go!!!
McConnell needs to get his$#%&!@*in gear or he will soon be fired.
Get rid of him
The ONLY WAY to bring Congress back to what it should be is for an executive order requiring that they have to use the exact same “benefits” and FOLLOW the exact same laws as I do!
