Despite controlling the White House and both branches of Congress, the GOP can’t get much done.
Oh, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have talking points pushing back on this widespread impression. Ryan’s argument has some merit: The House has passed a good deal of legislation — 305 bills, according to GovTrack.us. Admittedly, a lot of it is minor, but there’s some meaty stuff as well, including ObamaCare repeal-and-replace.
The problem is very little of it can get through the narrowly Republican-controlled Senate.
Much of the blame goes to McConnell, particularly when the blame is being cast by President Trump’s biggest supporters. Whether that’s fair is the subject of much debate. While McConnell has made his share of mistakes, the scapegoating is often wildly overblown.

” Time to clean house, starting with McConnell and Ryan.”
Actually it is McCain, Collins, Murkowski and the country club Republicans that have to go.
The congress is trying to stone wall President Trump’s nationalist agenda. Simple as that. Congress is full of uni-party Free Traitors™.
Lazy Sarah should have run for senate. She would have won in a landslide in AK.
That’s why Trump has unleashed Steve Bannon.
He desperately needs reinforcement in the Senate.
If Bannon is successful primaring old guard Senators and picking up a couple of Dem seats in 2018, then 2019 until 2024 will bring some lasting change to America.
I disagree with the premise of this article. The party of diversity has no diversity. They, Democrats, vote in block and the few times they don’t, they bribe dissenters with “Cornhusker Kickbacks, Louisiana Purchases”, and get things done.
Absolutely. I would really like to know what’s going on in the Swamp.
Need more Senate seats.
