Not with this funding bill, no.
“R Senators who voted against the bill today:
17Rs No: Corker Daines Enzi Ernst Fischer Flake Graham Grassley Johnson Lankford Lee McCain Moran Paul Risch Sasse & Toomey
Almost a rollcall of obstructionist RINOs.”
Significant number there, too. Throw in a few others (say Collins, Murkowski and Heller for example) and you’ve got enough to unite with the Senate Ds for a veto override majority.
Obviously that’s not relevant here, but thinking further down the road, if we start seeing a clear NeverTrump bloc of R Senators grow to 18 or more, that could mean a significant political power shift.
What most of these RINOs did was “vote conservatively” (wink-wink) against the debt limit raise and the CR.
Or at least they can claim that to their gullible voters: “Look, I’m more conservative than Trump!”
Hard to make much of any public votes by Senators, the system is set up to prevent that.
Harvey, Irma & Jose. Trump will take care of Americans.
“This the same major republican players that have stabbed him in the back since the day Trump was sworn in? The ones who stopped the Obamacare repeal, who have been pushing the fake Russia story? The ones who stayed in pro forma session to prevent him from recess appointments? The ones who have slow walked all his appointments? The ones who called him a racist after Charlottesville? The ones who pushed through a Russia sanctions bill designed to imply he isn’t trustworthy with Russia?”
Excellent summation that bears repeating. kWhich I just did. Reread above, you all.
