Mitch McConnell has no B*lls; he has to go.
We are being invaded through our Southern Border by Terrorists, Criminals, Drug Dealers and a host falsely claiming asylum to get free Food Stamps, Tax Credits and much much more.
Ranchers near the border are being killed and their wives raped by the invaders.
This is obviously an issue of National Security and Mitch McConnell doesn't use the Nuclear Option??
Shame on you Mitch. Shame on the Republicans like him who have no b*lls.
No not if he started a war with Iran but if he lifted the sanctions and offered 900 billion to them not to build nukes with no inspections that they would support.When Obama sent Iran cash for empty promises nary a peep from them.
Good point. Your scenario is better than mine.
Here are 14 potential “no” votes on the wall. Only a few of them will come forward at any given time, because only two are needed to stop it - but don’t fool yourself, all of them, plus 5-6 more, are ready, willing, and able to prevent a wall from ever being built.
Corker
Flake
Burr
Murkowski
Collins
Alexander
Sasse
Thune
Cornyn
Gardner
Lee
Portman
Rubio
Tillis
It is easy to post demands and other tough posts but you are doing nothing about it at all.
I find it fascinating because when Trump got elected I must have read thousands of posts of how Congress was going to be told what to do by Trump. Trump will make sure he gets his way - he will make them. I chuckled because most posters are somewhat clueless as to how things run in DC. Maybe you are learning.
They’re all domestic enemies including McScrotum. I can’t think of a single senator that’s a patriot or a statesman. Then again, I can’t think of a single senator that voted for Trump. Most voted for hillary or abstained.
All he has to do is vigorously push them. Senators like Collins will never vote to do away with the nuclear option and she does not respond to pressure and neither do the others. Your outrage may be real, but you offer a nonsolution.
You are SO CORRECT we have far to many RINOS in the senate there is NO WAY McConnell could ever get 51 votes, further more there is no way he will have 51 votes even after the new senate is seated to many RINOS won the senate so the NEW senate will do Trump no good either!!! The GOPe offers us NO ONE as far as candidates go to EVER release their GRIP on power!!! We have had PLENTY of who we thought were great candidates ride in on the Tea Party wave AND damned near all of them became RINOS once in DC!!! It all seems so hopeless and my heart truly goes out to Trump he is fighting a BEAST that doesn’t give a damn about anything except what the BIG DONORS want the country be damned!!!
McConnell is an establishment politician for sure. He has let us down many a time. However, give him a little room here. He warned Harry Reid against what he did back when criminal Reid ran the senate over the nuclear option being stopped regarding approval of judges. He has legitimate fears of the future where the democRATS use the simple majority to spend us into oblivion with no possibility to correct course.
I do not like McConnell, but in the new congress they will have to consider this bill without turncoat Flake and with 2 additional senators on the GOP side. He may actually have a good reason this time.
Basically, the RINOs have been exposed but the voters, as a whole, don't seem to care.
Basically, Trump needs to do a televised address and daily, pound relentlessly on the topic. That is all that will work. He has to go over their heads and see what happens.
You are correct, the new Senate will be no better and he will have high profile Romney disagreeing with Trump on some issues and the press will cover like crazy.
Then you have posters here writing about taking to the streets. They are unserious and they know it.
And Sinema in AZ ran on border security. LOL
The new congress has a democratic house, so that chamber will not pass the $5 billion for the wall.
I am with Mitch McConnell.
Let’s not just have a squeaker of a win .
Let us make the Democrats vote for this.
Let’s rub their faces in it!
Post #2 tells the story. Can't use the nuclear option when you don't possess a nuke. Some like Flake are beyond hopeless and just can't be reasoned with.
Correct me if I am wrong but the house bill does not evaporate if not voted on...it is a legitimate bill that can still be considered by the senate.
You might want to think this through. The Dems could jam big government down our throats if they control all branches of government.
Too many on this thread are ignoring the possibility that we may want to filibuster potential democrat house bills that could possibly pass with so called Rino Republicans support.
The filibuster may be on death’s door but we may need it sooner rather than later.
“The filibuster may be on death’s door but we may need it sooner rather than later.”
filibuster? The country is at death’s door and the republican party is complicit. Our borders are a joke, our elections are a joke, our fed govt is a joke, and the rule of law is dead.
Thank you for your post and well said.
