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.

Term—Limits, if our elected Career Politicians really were Serving their constituents, they would immediately support and pass Term—Limits.
Always been the Republicans problem!!! They have too many bleeding heart liberals that run as Republicans to gain their seats!!! Sad to know that they finally have the majority but after the mid term elections it will go back to normal split and the ESTABLISHMENT POLITICAL PARTIES WILL BE HAPPY….this is the real problem, to much corruption on both sides of aisle and the money is driving the agenda’s!!! Everyone who sits in Congress is a Millionaire after they get out of office…..how is that so on $200,000 or less salaries living in one of the most expensive cities in America…..you can cite any one of them!! Power corruption and money….all at our expense……yet they keep getting into office, term limits would help, but first we must “drain” the swamp!!!
Exactly ! Of course they are “opposing and resisting ” — it’s all about money, money they can’t steal anymore.
this skunk of a lying liberal must be banished from the USA.
You have to admit the Democrats are far better at marching the lemmings off the proverbial cliff. You only have to watch the news to see a daily demonstration.
Please it’s time to change this man out with the rotten Democrats
