Trump got less than half the money he wanted for the budget, and he got money for the border where Schumer and Pelosi said he can’t spend it on his wall (that poor excuse of a wall shown by Spicer is not what we voted for).
Lindsey Graham of all people said the Democrats “cleaned our clocks,” and HE didn’t know if he’d vote for it. This thing was a disaster, and the White House should quit trying to spin it any other way.
Republicans are always afraid of negative media headlines in the NYT/WaPo/Alphabet Nets and don’t want the Democrats to hate them, so they cave. They want to make it look like they can govern, so they give the Democrats every thing they want. That’s not what we voted for. If we wanted Democrats, we’d vote for them.
I expect better in September. If they capitulate in September, then we’re screwed.
They will cave again in September. It’s what they do.
I think Trump is wanting to focus on the bill for Obamacare at this. He could not take him the two fights at the same time.
