I back Trump no matter what.

The RINOs are a pestilence which needs to be cured in the primaries.

How does this even work though? McConnell and Ryan still have to let the legislation on the floor.

Ummmm not totally accurate. Both parties always raise the debt ceiling.

Congress is full of rats and traitors on both sides of the aisle.

McCain, Sasse, Rubio etc are every bit as corrupt and damnable as Pelosi and Schumer.

Our President is the only one left we can trust. And he can do what he likes to make a deal work

Interesting. It seems to me that this is a huge “No Confidence” vote in the GOP leadership by President Trump.

CNN’s Mission Statement: (what it seems to me to be)

Spin, spin, and spin some more.

Repeat!

If he can’t get the wall with the GOP, why not? What’s the difference?

Pelosi and Schumer smell blood in the water.

I saw Chuckie out there in front of cameras all excited about winning the democrat agenda. Hopefully he won’t look so happy in three months.

All because the Republicans are crap on a stick and we all know it.

I've heard it suggested that a “ship” as big as the US Government cannot be expected to be able to turn on a dime.Slow down its disastrous course,turn the wheel hard to starboard and eventually you're headed in the right direction.

Maybe that's what DJT has in mind.

I agree.

McConnell wanted to push it past the 2018 election. Trump's deal with Democrats only pushes this to this November, keeping Republicans' feet to the fire.

If Trump went with McConnell, he'd be giving McConnell a free pass to the 2018 election to ignore Trump's agenda.

Forgot to mention, this is probably Trump’s response to criticism about how he was affecting “delicate negotiations” between Republicans and Democrats to fund the govt.

When are we going to have actual, responsible budgets? Enough with these CRs and melodramatics about government shutdowns.

You can’t possibly be this dense. It’s a “no” vote from Trump on the Republicans.

He needs to get disaster relief NOW, and he knows it would be held up with the do nothings in Congress on both sides of the aisle.
