Republican senators sent the White House a sharp message on Tuesday, warning that they were opposed to President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, just hours after the president said lawmakers would be “foolish” to try to stop him.
...
“I want you to take a message back” to the White House, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told the attorneys, according to people familiar with the meeting. “You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference. He called the proposed tariffs a $30 billion tax hike on Texans.

Who better to pay taxes then those buying foreign made products and shipping wealth out of the USA? Consumption taxes like tariffs are WAY better than income taxes.
If you want to be a hypocrite complain about the budget deficit at the same time oppose the import tariff.
NAMES and WHEN they think their LIFETIME JOB might be in Jeopardy... (their next Election)
I’m all for Gallows even for So Called Republicans... even in Texas, NO... I mean ESPECIALLY in TEXAS!
Texas should LEAD the way
Republicants
NOW you know why the Mexican officials ran straight to Pelosi!! It’s so freakin obvious...honestly at this point I despise the republicans, especially backstabbing McConnell.....bring the lawsuit asses ...we’ll see you at the polls!!!
Republicans, except for President Trump, are all in the pocket of big business. I sound so cliche but it’s true.
I’ll up it:
The drug cartels and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the DNC all called, they said to thank you guys for your support.
He is a very confused and marginally loyal citizen.
Looks like I will have to sell my stocks in ball in a cup
Trump should ignore the Senatorial traitors and proceed with the plan.
Make them join the Democrats in legislation. Let’s see if they are “foolish” enough to expose themselves to their constituents.
I have theory that wages of Americans can never be driven low enough to please the GOP and their handlers. There is no floor.
No surprise the uniparty is hacked off.
these are the same clowns who VOTED for 99% of Trump’s fed judges, so tread carefully. Turtle and Grahamnesty led the way..
No wonder this guy nearly lost to Beto.
Our founders would call you a tory and tar and feather you for saying that. Tariffs are great. Better than the income tax, raise revenue and most importantly protect US industry. WIN WIN WIN WIN
Could they, would they threaten Trump with the impeachment vote?
Seems like it doesn’t it. At least enough Republicans in the Senate do that can affect votes.
Seems like it. Seriously need term limits.
I’m beginning to believe the drug cartels are the US chamber of commerce
Hey Cruz, you didn’t talk to the Texans about it! What do you think the illegal immigration is costing us!
