The problem is that maybe 50 of that 235 side with the citizens and the rule of law.
We really MUST replace the Bush League Republicans that are hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.

Trump said not to bother on Friday.

Trump backed. Maybe.
But backing one that wouldn’t pass puts the brakes on one that might pass.
Pres. Trump is off the hook. It’s all on Congress now. Hope they like the heat.
