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.

Charles Trokey who owned the gold and money that flew out of the country? Please fact check your answer for the truth is out there.
Robert Mann wow! Liberals looking to destroy the fabric of America. Please describe this very fabric you are worried about. To what decade do you want America to return to.

Lisa Forsythe, from your post if I do not believe the same way you do then I should be brought to your justice. If the news does not print what you want to read then it is false. Just wondering if you hate the Obama years, what is your house worth now and how is your retirement fund doing?
Kay Gravitt, what is a true conservatives? Only ones who think the same way you do? So much for the great melting pot America is suppose to be.

There are two parties in Congress. One is the Swamp Party which includes all Democrats plus some Republicans like McCain, Graham, Collins, Murkowski and Heller among others who want to keep the corrupt status quo. The other is the Anti-Swamp party to which no Democrats belong and includes mostly Republicans who want to reform how Washington works. So far, the Swamp is winning.
