“Major Republican players are extremely annoyed that the president seems to have completely cut them out of this and just gone his own way.”
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?
THOSE major republican players? Screw em.
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.
I know right. Trump owes them nothing.
Agreed. Some are more conservative than Trump, some less. But they all owe him loyalty, and he has been more than willing to work with them...and they won’t work with him. They’re either grandstanding by showing off how much more conservative they are, or sucking up to the press by showing how much they hate Trump (think McCain).
I’m sick and tired of people who can’t work together. And obviously, Trump is too. And I say this as someone who voted for him only because he was the GOP candidate and not because I liked him (although I have come to do so). You have to be practical, and Trump is practical.

Excellent summation that bears repeating. kWhich I just did. Reread above, you all.
