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.

Asshole
Of course Dems and republicans both … career politicians, mostly fossils, totally out of couch, but so entrenched in their “good old boy network” of “swampism” that the thought of change, giving up their power, status, and of course huge financial gains, is just not something the old guard can tolerate. Term limits. Vote them all out. Listen to the people.
B******t
I’m definitely not a fan of Putin but I tend to believe him before some of our elected members of congress who are making themselves look completely foolish around the world !!!!!!!
Kick his butt out
Wonder how much money this pos stole from tax payers…we want to see his tax records.
They all need to be drained!
Old Mitch needs to get on the boat and fix tax reform.. These career idiots are the problem.. All of this tax return problem is very easily cured. Introduce a law requiring all members of the executive branch leadership, and all members of congress , release their returns yearly. I guarantee you won’t hear anything else about it.
Drain the Swamp!
