Amid Democratic opposition, Republican leaders are retreating from President Donald Trump’s very popular campaign promise to build a border fence to block illegal immigration, drug smugglers, and criminals.
A top GOP leader, Sen. Roy Blunt, told reporters on Tuesday that GOP leaders do not want to include Trump’s spending for the border wall in the spring budget, which is due by April 28. “All of the committees, the leaderships of the House and Senate, are working together to try to finalize the rest of the FY17 [budget spending] bill,” he added. “My guess is that comes together better without the [border] supplemental,” he told The Hill.
Top Democrats are hoping to wreck Trump’s presidency by blocking any funding for his key campaign promise. “The wall is a poison-pill rider,” Schumer said in an interview with Politico. “They’ll do it at their peril.”

Who knew the RINOs would tire of winning so quickly?
Your not helping. We want the wall and we want it now. If it doesn’t get done now it will never get done.
THEY DAMN WELL BETTER NOT...
WE CAN LET HOUSE AND SENATE BOTH LOSE..THEY NEED TO WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO AMERICAN VOTERS..
The Wall will NEVER be Built. The War on Drugs is far too important to WIN by putting up a damned wall. 2 out of 3 Government Jobs depends on it Nationwide.
Attention members of the Stupid Party: Commence with the circular firing squad!
No other priority matters to me.
I am so sick of these loser shitstains.
I have no use for the GOP whatsoever, and at this rate they will lose the house and the senate next year, because frankly, there is no point in them having either.
Veto the CR, shut the damn government down and then go on TV and say the government doesn’t open until they cough up the $2B for the wall. Let the RINOs override their own President’s veto. The Repunlican Party just sucks.

You have to understand that you can’t always get everything you want, sometimes it’s better to take whatever the Democrats and RINOs are willing to let you have and be happy with it and maybe someday they’ll let you not have what you really want when you give them something they really want, you have to compromise you see...../s
Trump should just announce he will not sign any budget that does not include funding for the wall.
Not a full-blown budget (like we have not seen in 8 years) nor a Continuing Resolution.
And then stick to it.
I would bet $100 the US Congress will not fail to deliver something with his desired funding. They will not think he is bluffing, not for a minute.
They know he is impervious to anything they can throw at him.

Well, those ‘GOP leaders’ can go to Hell.
Do we need Rush’s permission to burn down the congressional switch board? Or can we think on our own?
“I’m okay with this for right now.”
Blasphemy!
Keep reading this thread and put your big girl panties on.
F***ing ****suckers.
PING
They couldn't give two F's about the working stiffs in America. They dance to the music of the rich and become rich themselves through insider information and kickbacks.
>> Trump should just announce ...
And some friendly pressure at the home districts wouldn’t hurt either.
You insult ****suckers.
Or a Levin Surge!
Sadly, I don’t think these jackasses give a rat’s rear end what we think.
I think we are very rapidly being left with one option and one option only when it comes to the Swamp.
