Several dozen House Republicans might cross the aisle this week to vote for Democratic bills to reopen shuttered parts of the federal government, spurring the White House into a dramatic effort to stem potential GOP defections.

White House officials and Republican congressional leaders worry that GOP support for the shutdown is eroding, weakening President Donald Trump’s hand as he seeks billions of dollars for a border wall that Democrats have vowed to oppose, according to GOP lawmakers and aides.

The media are talking about several dozen Republicans supposedly abandoning President Trump and joining the Democrats.

Is this just more fake news or are the RINOs ready to surrender?

[notaliberal]

Republicans are always scared about something! Wimps!!!

[CMailBag]

I was hoping that all the Rinos went out the door with the Rino Speaker.

[Gasshog]

House Republicans ain’t the Senate.

Besides this is fake news anyway.

House GOP leaders fear support eroding for Trump’s shutdown fight

Give me a break - House GOP leaders feared a shutdown before it even started. They are cowards, and they are used to being played like drums by the Democrats.

[MortMan]

Stupid is as RINO does.

[TBP]

I thought it was increasing.

But it's supposed to erode, so the RINOs will act is if it is.

[tet68]

Oddly, one never hears of any democrats who are feeling
worried about the leadership’s position...on ANYTHING.

Why is that? /rhetorical question.

[McCabe]

It’s POLITICO!!! Definitely fake “news”. They CREATE the stories and try to sway opinion. All the news that THEY say is fit to print.

[jjotto]

Technically, the MSM is always REPORTING that ‘the GOP’ is scared about something conservative.

"We found RINOs make the best mortar."

worry that GOP support for the shutdown is eroding

If the so-called congressional LEADERS would LEAD this would be a non-problem.

Just when the Pres needs their support they stand there ringing their hands with the worst kind of worry....that which subverts and prevents action. Shame on Republican representatives.

[notaliberal]

Apologies for calling you an idiot! I just don’t want a country with drugged up people!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Most of the elected GOP are still Bush League Republicans hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.

They don’t want a wall anymore than the Democrats do.

[poinq]

Just projecting. Everyone wants the wall.

[EnglishOnly]

MSN ?

Save your watch at least!

Mostly fake news. Even if support in the House erodes, POTUS still has strong support in the Senate, and ultimately he still has veto power over any spending bill. This is mostly psyops from the MSM, same as the fake polls they push during elections.

[Ann Archy]

WEAK SISTERS!! GROW A PAIR, you FAIRIES!

[bgill]

They better fear the next election if they don’t abide by their constituents’ wishes.

[Pinkbell]

It’s the RINOs, so we can only assume they are ready to surrender. It’s likely the usual suspects. Some are up for reelection and think they can win an election by acquiring moderates and stabbing their Republican base in the back.
