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.

No Tax cuts/reform, I say Mr. President do not sign any bill until you get Tax Reform. Let the government shut down, do not raise the debt limit, etc… hold a news conference in prime time and call them out. Invite McConnell to explain way he as the Senate Majority leader can not get things done, why the things these weak Republicans promised are not on your desk. They promised these long before you where elected.
Agree Diana

I think the people of Kentucky need to call or e-mail this man and tell him to get to work and do something. I heard last night that there are 200 bills waiting to be voted on and he is doing nothing. He is the leader of the pack and is not leading anyone. GET HIM OUT
