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.

Yes, Senator McConnell, where were you when Obama was spending and spending pushing the debt higher and higher. You were sitting pretty in your comfy sear in the Senate not daring to lead the Republicans into conflict with Obama’s budgets. You are in effective “fraidy cat” and you should resign immediately. Give your position to some Republican, who cares about this country and isn’t afraid to butt against the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, and others. I feel certain, too, because the President at times has not been kind to you with his words, you are playing the pouting Republican leader whose feelings have been hurt. Get over it and bring your Republicans in line or get out!!
McConnell is an$#%&!@*!! All these years in the Senate and he is just now figuring out their is a problem, after he helped create it??????
HMM…maybe McCriminall needs an investigation into his finances, then let him sit in jail while the investigation is going on…and if they find one T he didn’t cross send him to prison or a mental institution where the scum-sucking Denocrap belongs! Yes, I said he is a Denocrap…and a traitor!!!
McConnell needs to be out and put to pasture!
McConnell needs to be recalled. He has no guts or integrity for sure!!!
We need to clean house of not just professional democrats but republicans as well!! They are all dirty!
Exactly. But some republicans are democrats in wrong party to run interference. Yet, Americans keep electing these traitors
McConnell and Ryan are. traitors. As long as they are there all Americans are screwed.
Why can’t this man get on board? …
