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.

Vote him out in 2018
I will predict now that he won’t be reelec
Republican or Democrat career politicians have been there too long, have too much power, and are the source of a lot of America’s problems (examples:Pelosi, McConnell, etc.). Simple solution: Every American should contact their representatives to let them know their next term is based on their actions today. If they can’t or won’t work together to solve our problems then we will find someone who will.
Idiot
Someone needs to beat his$#%&!@*
Can’t stand him…. I hope his state is proud of him
Recall
What’s his problem ? He’s got plenty of money? He won’t even have to do any math? He’s just the rest of them that want to drain the economy with dreamers! Trump wants to drain the swamp
If McConnell can’t do his job send him to a rest home. America needs congress to start doing what the people voted them in for. Get on with it!
We voted for Trump! Remember that come election time!
