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.

You piece of garbage, we the people give the president his job, now you fool do yours, or go back to ky and sit on your drug boat.
I am a Independent and as much as I did not like the leadership ( Harry Reid ) I think he was RIGHT the Republicans can not LEAD No
BALLS !!!!
McConnell needs to be primaried!
Ole man you need to ride off in the sunset
He is the one that needs to be blocked. We elected Trump to do what he is doing!!
The president doesn’t control the purse, right Mitch? Remember the government shutdown you engineered that blew a hole in our credit rating? Raising the debt ceiling allows current debt to be paid. Guess it was different when Obama was trying to save our economy from another Great Depression. Hilary was right all along. How about putting your country before your politics for a change.
If you aren’t to help our country get out of the way!
The Republican Party is its own biggest enemy. Disgusting, they should be embarrassed
Perfect example why we need term limits. Pres. Trump will upset the full time Rinos party. They are afraid of what he represents.
We need to change the republican leadership get someone who will support the president
