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.
More on page two.
The voters did not elect McConnell they elected Trump, don’t know what others are thinking but makes kinda upset.
Remember how he said he was going to get so much done at his last election?? Lies!!!
Come on!!Get these worthless bastards out!!!
It’s hard to believe that Trump has exposed the Republicans for what they really are Demonrats in Republican Clothing … Rinos! VOTE THE LIARS OUT!!!!
We need to see which ones if these arrogant idiots are up for election next near. And boom end their careers
Yeh, we need a tax cut! LOL! lets continue not paying our bills! Yeh, lets leave this enormous national debt for our children to pay! Really? Trump has not proposed anything to address the over taxation of the Middle Class! The Conservative Media has promoted a tax system that has resulted in the greatest shift of the tax burden from the rich to the Middle Class & Small Business (the largest employer in the economy) in the history of this Country & any criticism of the tax system is dismissed by the Conservative Media as “Class Warfare”. LOL! Why don’t we go back to the Federal Income Tax Rates for years 1930-70? The current tax system has produced an America with dramatic income disparity that we have not seen since the 1890s. In 1970 the top 1% controlled 7% of the wealth. Today the top 1% controll over 20%. This has had tremendous negative impact on the economy because the Middle Class is the largest consuming group. Do you enjoy being played by the Conservative Media?

Both McConnell and Ryan are helping Schumer and Pelosi destroy are country and the people soon will stand up against this evil
