Help me understand why the Democrats have any say in this whatsoever. Doesn’t the GOP have all three branches of government? How can the Democrats shut anything down?

Because for years, people have said, “I don’t care if he’s a liberal, we need the R, dammit!” And it is true that you need numbers to have a majority, but we’re now seeing what a soft majority it really is.

Because a large portion of the GOP is made up of Democrats in GOP clothing.

I would hope that getting rid of these swamp rats is one of President Trump’s top priorities.

The Senate needs 60 votes for budget matters. Republicans only have a 52 majority.

Hell no.

The judicial system is so full of RATs they need to call Terminix.
