I’m glad we’ve got their name early in the game. It will give us time to find acceptable replacements to run against each and every one of them.

The Senators’ draft offer to the Democrats, however, also includes incentives sought by GOP-aligned business groups, such as an expansion of the H-2B blue collar visa-worker program. Few Democrats support the H-2B visa program but its inclusion could encourage GOP legislators to ignore protests from the GOP’s pro-American base. Several GOP Senators in the group also support a DACA amnesty because it would add more imported workers and consumers to their local markets.
Linda is on the list, of course.

Safe bet. But I wouldn’t bet the farm that President Trump will fold. I am pretty sure he knows if he does 2020 is off the table for him.

Shame the Senators don’t seem to get it.

If any of them jump out of line I can’t see any benefit in re-electing them. If they are going to sleep with Shulosi and Pahrumer anyway, why are they needed to have an (R) by their names?

The traitors who will insure that President Trump is impeached.

The traitors who will instigate vigilante justice.

we can consider amnesties, birthright citizenship and assorted other ‘helltotheno’s’ AFTER we get the wall built - meaning all eminent domain cases settled and sealed.

Congress, why are you willing to fund $4B in ‘special assistance’ to Mexico to fortify their southern border as part of a commitment by Mexico to spend $29B, but you won’t fund $5B in ‘special assistance’ to ourselves to fortify our own southern border, which, btw, will also help Mexico deter migration? It’s not logical and, in fact, may even be racist towards Mexico - expecting THEM to handle the problem. What say you, Critters?

By looking at that roster of miscreants properly as Democrats rather than Republicans, and certainly *not* conservatives, not only do the Democrats have a solid majority in the House, they have a 76-24 majority in the Senate. Venezuela here we come!

“Graham while imperfect has been pivotally helpful at times”

Especially true lately, making this all the more disappointing

Amnesty Senators MUST be replaced or they WILL pass amnesty.

The stupidity and weak spines of Republicans never ceases to amaze me. If they hang tough, they will win. But even if they negotiated a settlement, to give all they are talking about for money for only a portion of the wall is asinine.
And, it is always the same names that cave to the Dems.

Reagan was screwed over by amnesty which IS EXACTLY why we have what we have now!!! It gave ALL invaders a signal that it was OK to invade this country AND they would be rewarded eventually with amnesty!!!!

Not likely to do anything but show the Dems are not sane enough to do what they claim they want to do - they have drawn their Rubicon line in the sand and intend to stick with it....any of their who cross that line will be dealt with the Democrat way.
