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.

Time for him to go

Whatever happened to “do the the damn job you were elected to do and quit with the b******t “…..
The RINOs must be removed from the Republican Party or we must start a new Party for conservatives. This nonsense has been going on far too long and is destroying the Republican Party.
A real as-
Stop it Mitch McConnell. Just stop it. You too McCain.

If you give us the House we will do X, Y and Z – nada, if you give us the Senate we will do X, Y and Z, – nada. If you give us the presidency plus the house and the senate we will do X, Y and Z. You have all three now- stop dragging your feet and making excuses and act like you are the majority party. Pass the tax cuts to get the economy going and redo the health care bill. McConnell stop being a turtle and a jerk.
Remember when you vote
