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.

Why can’t you people get it together. Need to vote you out and get some Repubs in that want to help this country and the President.
We have said it for years. McConnell should be removed. He is an obstructionist
As long as people continue voting the idiots in nothing will change.
Looks like McConnell can’t be trusted and now I wonder if Trump made a mistake giving his wife a job. I am beginning to wonder if she can be trusted either.
OK! Who in the Conservative movement didn’t know that Senator McConnell was going to be one obstacles in opposition to the President and his agenda? It’s going to take a hell of a lot push back from Conservatives in Kentucky who care deeply about the proposed tax cut plan of the administration. McConnell may infact be jockeying for position here, but he is really scaring the hell of business and the stock market. The president is right on this. We have record revenue already going in, a significant tax cut will do even more in terms of revenue, growth and jobs. The Senator must gerd up his loins and the Presidents tax cut through the Senate. This will be a big win for America! Prime the pump!
This man is a paid DEMOCRAT.
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.
Where were you 8 years ago Mitch! What a jerk you are!!
