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.

He’s on the list to go!
Let’s go Kentucky lower that 18% approval rating down to what he is actually worth like 1%
tax cuts that increase the debt that will be carried by my grandchildren, maybe McConnell is being a fiscally prudent R, as for the debt during Obama, McConnell did not have a majority to work with, truth and action, kind of like Pravda in the Soviet Union
He’s a Jack in the Box
@Byron Edwards: They’re all one and the same…obstructionists. If they can’t support President Trump’s vision, they should resign like the back-stabbers they are. they will still get their $184,000 plus perks for life after they’re out of office, but it will be worth it to get rid of them before they can de-rail the Trump Train.
Jimmy Stockdale No one is expecting anyone to ‘kiss trumps butt’ (sic) – they are expecting their elected officials to do what’s right for their President …the one who is President of ALL Americans.
Time for communist mitch to push daisy’s
