Senate races are not limited to districts. They are Statewide.

It's not defeated, this was always the called play since signing the spending bill. See my other posts for details.

“...The RAT party has 47 members in the senate.
What happened to the other six?...”
-
uhhhh...
47 D’s + 12 R’s = 59 “YEA” votes
53 R’s - 12 defections = 41 “NO” votes.

The fact that Trump got unemployment to its lowest level in 50 years his first year in office is proof positive to me that every President since Nixon had DELIBERATELY kept it high. This is why the plutocracy wants Trump gone so much, he is threatening their profits. They want high unemployment which makes people work for less out of desperation and then their greatest dream is to flood the country with millions of foreigners which will shoot their real estate holdings through the roof and bring labor costs even lower.

I pretty much agree, but I’d put nothing past these idiots.

I’m not advocating forgetting about anything. I’m saying Trump needs to find a lawyer or 3 that know a damn thing about govt., the guys he has clearly aren’t working out. It’s pretty bad that talk radio (people that have been to law school like Laura Ingraham, Dana Loesch, and Ben Shapiro) is giving better legal advice than Trump’s lawyers. The Donald needs to cut them loose until he gets back into the real estate business in a few years.

“The vote margin was 69.5%. Looks like to me it is a veto proof vote”

Wrong! In the Senate it will take 67 votes to overturn a Presidential veto. This bill passed with 59 votes, so they are 8 short to override. In the House they will need about 35 Republicans to vote to override Trump’s veto.

Not happening.

Oh yeah no doubt about the GOP exists to serve corporate globalist elites. They are not even hiding it anymore.

“Trump can veto it, and the Senate would have to pick up one or two more votes to have a 2/3 majority.”

Geez the math on this board is atrocious!

Look, 59 Senators voted against the emergency declaration by Trump. Trump will veto this bill and it will take 67 Senators to override Trump’s veto, not the “1or 2” you claim are needed.

All of what you post is proof of the existence of the deep state, insiders, globalists who control the uni party of democrats and Republicans. Without a border and strict immigration control, there will be no need for elections. The traitors within the Republican party are despicable and I can only hope that everything they have been lusting and working for is stripped from each and every one of them. Pres Trump will find a way around them and be reelected in 2020.

“Trump not getting (what little of) his judicial nominee’s confirmed for starters...”

Uhh, No President in our history has had as many judges confirmed in this short a period of time as Trump.

I guess Senator Cruz figured it out after all.

Ok fine,I understand what you are say. And there is frustration in many areas. Coming out of a business background and not knowing all the good people he has made mistakes. Fredo Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions jump out to me if we are talking about lawyers.
My concern is today and what can we do. We don’t have to accept bad behavior from people on our side. They must feel some pain for screwing the country. At the end of the day they voted for more rapes and murders. Do we pick up our marbles and go home. I not going home. Is Nick Sandman going home against the richest man in the world. We are having some success it time to keep the mo going. We all can see the future and know what Mitt and Ryan are up to.

Does this mean POTUS Trump inherited Obama’s Phone and Pen?

It’s an indictment of the American people who voted for all of this nonsense over the last 50 years. Don’t think you get to skate on this.
