Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Republican senators sent the White House a sharp message on Tuesday, warning that they were opposed to President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, just hours after the president said lawmakers would be “foolish” to try to stop him.
...
“I want you to take a message back” to the White House, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told the attorneys, according to people familiar with the meeting. “You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference. He called the proposed tariffs a $30 billion tax hike on Texans.

And THIS lack of courage and leadership is why Cruz would NOT EVER be a GREAT President which very clearly is what Trump is. I regret my initial support of Cruz in the 2016 primaries.
Might not need to wait that long
Brexit demonstrated that it is possible to create a new party and win in a matter of months.
It only takes an issue that makes enough people determined to change things and the US voters are very close to that point now.
The GOPe had better take notice of what Brexit did in England.
Amazing, isn’t it that the Democrats can all hang together while every single freaking time the Republicans all choose to hang separately.
Never ... fails. Just ONCE I’d like to see Republicans back the Party.
Problems with voting these BASTARDS out of office NO ONE ever dares to primary them they KNOW we would NEVER vote for a Dem, they KNOW we have NO WHERE to go EXCEPT these BASTARD TRAITORS!!!
Are those Senators unable to make a SMALL sacrifice for the long term GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT IN CHARGE IN 1944.
I’m ashamed of them.
I fear we would ALL be speaking German.
And there’s Ted Cruz standing with the invaders.
I did too in the beginning.
In the end we all voted for the right guy :)
A third party with 26% isn't going to win anything in the US.
Gee. Trump thinks of an unique way to stop this crap and then gets the shaft from the GOP in the Senate. What a bunch of losers and I can’t believe I just did that.
Turn Texas Blue!
F**k stick.
Trump should run as a patriot and screw both parties
Trump has 94% approval of republicans.
Can we get a list of names?
I think the immigration problem creates more strong feelings, more passion, than Britain’s quitting the EU.
The question of Brexit was more akin to our tariff question To many voters, an abstract question not fully understood by all....so there is really a relatively small group who are definitely for or against.
The immigration problem on the other hand is an “in your face” hot button. It affects every person in the country, one way or another.
By the way, the last time I went to the emergency room in the daytime hours on a weekday, I waited 5 hours in line to be seen.
My doctor sent me.
But I made the mistake of driving myself instead of calling for an ambulance because I dislike the idea of tieing up an emergency vehicle that might be needed for a real emergency.
I an sure you know that if you are delivered to the emergency room by an ambulance, you become #1 in line for medical attention.
The waiting room was full of families taking their kids for medical care that any family doctor would normally attend to. By everything from ordinary Hispanics to a few that looked like MS-13.
You and your COC paid for who-ares always overlook the BILLIONS (UP TO $40B!!) that Americans have been 'taxed' due to untaxed remittances, being sent to Mexico, via jobs taken from AMERICANS!!
Not to mention all of the FREEBIES THAT THESE INVADERS ARE GIVEN, DAILY!!
Mexico has had this 'tariff' on USA, for decades.
Oh, and thanks for all of the help POTUS gave you, traitor cRuz, during your re-election campaign.
Ingrate.
Rotten SOBs every one of them!The repukes are just as bad as the dimwits. Time for BOTH PARTIES TO DISAPPEAR. They’re paid off, corrupt, power hungry and NONE OF THEM GIVE A D@MN ABOUT US. Most of us have to live in the world THEY CREATED while they live in their gated communities isolated from the crime and crap we have to deal with in the real world. POTUS has my blessing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to STOP THIS ENEMY INVASION.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Yes....ERs are where these illegal INVADERS are given FREE healthcare, compliments of you and I.
BTW...most of them DO call an ambulance for their free ride to their Priority/VIP/Skip the Line pass to their FREE healthcare.
Yes, and it's paid by the American buyer.
You nailed it!
