Any Republican Senator that votes to override the Trump veto is committing suicide.
Trump has 90% Republican voter support. The backlash would be swift and fierce and would destroy any Senator that doesn't get it right.
And that's why Trump is daring them. He's know they're bluffing.
Good luck at getting 67 votes, even with RINOs.
Finally the damned backstabbing RINOs might self- destruct!!!!! Yippee!!
“Stupid” is the perfect word!!
About as effective as gnats!

Senate Republicans Warn White House Against Mexico Tariffs
RINOs trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
It is not up for a vote. They can OPINE but not override.
Damn never-Trumper panderers schilling for votes that don’t exist.
In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do;
Any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. Before being kicked out can get a heavy fine and possible imprisonment.
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally.
According to the Mexican constitution Americans legally in Mexico get a 2nd class treatment. Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. It’s time the US should consider making that reciprocal.
Prohibit and fully legally enforce punishment to violators offering any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges .In other words the incentives to those thinking of sneaking into this country are removed and those that do better expect expulsion no job no voting no landowning ..
Back President Trump’s effort to make certain the census form contains the citizenship question in it and no reference to race. But to the country of where the respondent is a citizen of if not an American citizen.
TIME TO END HYPHENATING AMERICANS
One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a photo id is not available physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race but by nationality..
By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. Plus it could play a significant part in shutting down the political playing off racial divisions between Americans by the Democrats.
This is stupid by the Senate. They should not say anything about the tariffs. They pulled the rug out from under Trump. The threat of tariffs is some of the leverage against Mexico that Trump has.
Paid Stooges of the US Chamber of Commerce.
If the party fails to support Trump as they have in the past, if necessary I would have no issues supporting a 3rd party headed by D. C. outsiders. These idiots still have no idea if not for Trump their party would have been dead on the floor in 2016.
The GOPe are owned by the Koch brothers and others who want and profit from open borders...
The Senate republicans do this and you will see a lot of new freshmen in the 2021 congress.....
Now Mexico thinks they can drag their feet because the message is: no consequences.
Need a new party.
The democrats have not been this pissed or confused since we freed their slaves.
I am RINO weary.
Support Trump or resign!
MAGA
President Trump, doing the work congress won't.
...and that’s why the Ssnowman had no kids...”snow balls”.
And I’ll be happy to vote against you stupid assh0les for the rest of my life too.
So sick of this ****ing party.
They won’t have to worry about Senators if they block him on this.
They might note that the Mexican “government” is already on the ropes about this and if they sense weakness they’ll stop cooperating.
The dishrag Party needs to grow a set and stand with their utterly fearless leader.
One can only hope.
