Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!

I agree but 4 repubs voted with the democrats
I am SO thankful this man is our President! Can’t say that enough.
Yes, but four or five Dems voted with the Repubs.
What is the current headcount in the Senate? I don’t think McStain is in DC or he would of been out shooting his mouth off.
They don’t have the votes even at 51%. That’s what’s so ridiculous about this. The Dems don’t need to filibuster. They are just doing it for show.
McCain has been tweeting. https://twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain he needs to retire . His health is only getting worse.
Turn the cameras on when they talk.. when they bicker
What good has the 60 vote cloture rule done us? Have Republicans ever been able to use the filibuster to stop any disastrous Dem legislation?
Yeah but this is why this tweet is so brilliant this kind of puts pressure on those who went with the Dems don’t you think? They’re kind of hiding in the shadows because no one outside of DC understand what’s going on but if POTUS calls for the Republicans to do this and the light gets put on them do you think they have the guts to stick with the Democrats over illegals??

Indeed. And we’re fed this crap like “he’s out of town” when everyone on Planet Earth (the few who care, that is) knows he’s at home, busy dying.
But his massive ego CANNOT allow him to resign and allow someone else to take over. A miserable jerk to the end.
We don’t actually know what percentage they have, because they voted knowing they didn’t have enough votes, 60, to end debate in the Senate. Some Democrats voted for it, and some Republicans voted against it. They knew their votes were symbolic only.
Agreed.
Exactly POTUS is putting the pressure on them and the spotlight with this tweet.
They will not do so on the nuke option. Will not be released
“Nuclear Option”
Do it!
Agree - ratchets up the pressure on McConnell to get his troops in line, too.
John McCain is home dying.
He has about three weeks or so
Rand Paul & Linda Graham definitely ought to be ousted the next time they run. Flake will be gone, but AZ voters will probably screw us again with their stupid voting.
