Republican lawmakers are increasingly at odds with Donald Trump across a range of high-profile domestic and national security issues, an early sign that the GOP-led Congress might resist some elements of the president-elect’s unorthodox agenda.
Although Trump maintains enthusiastic backing in many corners of the party, key members of the Senate and House have been outspoken in challenging his views of Russia and its interference in the U.S. election, warning of potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump’s far-flung business interests if he does not fully divest from his company, and criticizing the tough approach that he has taken to some companies, including his threat to impose a stiff tariff on firms that move jobs overseas.
There is also friction over Trump’s consideration of ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state — with GOP advisers warning that a growing number of Republican senators may be unwilling to vote to confirm Tillerson because of his ties to Russia.

“growing resistance”?
Bunk. There is a section of embedded Republicans who are every bit as big of a problem, as democrats.
Trump beat them all.
lol Fake News continues unabated.
McConnell is still off the Trump reservation on many issues.
More Fake News from the Washington Post
The Republicans who never wanted Trump, refused to accept him as the nominee, are now against his agenda.
Who could have seen this coming.
With Ryan and McConnell heading up “our” (and yes, I use that term very loosely) team in Congress, we get no favors there.
If these two and other go up against Trump, they will hear from the public like they never have before.
I understand their lack of cooperation.
After all, Trump’s humiliating defeat in the November election dragged down the entire party, costing the Republicans both the House and the Senate as well as governorships and state legislative majorities throughout the country.
Oh, wait a second...
Not to say that Ditch isn’t off the res on any number of the issues of the Base too.
McCain and his hemorrhoid Linda.
All of the establishment supporters will be drawn out for all to see.
On January 20 at 12.01pm McCain needs to be arrested for aiding and supplying arms to Muslim terrorists. That would eliminate one problem, but it is also not likely to ever happen.
These people must literally have feces where their brains are supposed to be.
Fake news to undermine Trump and make him a failed president to elect Elizbath Warren in 2020 or a new Clinton Run (or Biden). It will not work—No Evidence.
More fake news. Lindsay and Juan, Lindsay and Juan, Lindsay and Juan. Together, they have an IQ of 150. You figure it out.
Washington ComPost, promoting their favorite media strumpet John McCain. Whenever the media has a need for emotional and psychological fellatio, Juan McCain is first in line, followed by his sock puppet and minime,Lindsey Graham, and, of course, little Marco Rubio and McConnell.
Pretty cheesy tactic, isn't it.
Lol!!
If we do not seek truth from outside of MSM, we will fail to live a meaningful life. You cannot base your life upon lies, and this is why we must defend Alternative Media.
This BS fake story is another example of the constant big lies/fake news from the NY Slimes/Compost and ABCNNBCBS.
A thing to understand about the perpetrators of this insane St. Vitus Dance: these are profoundly ignorant people who still feel that a connection with anything Russian will stir the atavistic reflexes of the Right, who they continue to imagine are stuck in McCarthy-like anti-communist precepts, unlike the clever and enlightened authors themselves. In short, they think it will split the party. It’s a little sad to see, sort of like your great Grand-dad dancing the Lindy Hop at a rave. This is the Teens and all they’re getting out of it is ironic humor.
