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 you think these guys won’t vote to convict the President of the impeachment, if they can get a positive headline out of it?
Tuff luck for Ted on this one.
Mexicans already caved. Trump won.
Again.
Can they stop his tariffs.
To think I preferred Cruz over Trump.
These swamp clowns think they are going to come to MAGA country and campaign for votes? Not going to happen.
Do these idiots know that the electorate hates them? They’re so obviously corrupt.

Perhaps they will soon find out. We need to stop voting for empty promises and deceitful rhetoric and start voting on the basis of results and support for our president.
Do we?
I wonder how many people I can get to scold me for refusing to vote for Marco Rubio in 2022.
“You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference”
Guess it would be hard to hear with their donors biscuits in their mouths.
FUTC!
US Chamber Of Commerce / GOPe Spineless Worms - bump for later...
They are all so short sighted and idealistic. No wonder the country is in such a mess
Trump is great! and I’m still glad I’m not a Republican.
These rinos are as bad as the commie Dimocraps. These rinos rear their ugly heads always at the exactly best time to undercut sabotage and destroy anything good for our country.
Sometimes Trump needs to call out the Repukes at his rallies and have them thoroughly boo’d in their home states
To paraphrase Patton: I’d rather have a Democrat in front of me than a Republican behind me.
OK, so declare an emergency and close the southern border. Lets see Congress impeach a President for defending our borders...
Apparently, the giant meat packers and chicken raisers still count more for the GOPe congressmen than legal voters who send their children to classrooms crowded with over-aged illiterate classmates dragging down test scores, who walk out of the ER because it’s filled with illegals who need translators slowing things to a crawl, who risk being hurt or killed on local highways by illegal, uninsured drivers,many of whom are drunk.
Taxes go up and quality of life goes down for Americans when illegal aliens squat in large numbers.
I wish these Republicans would get the hell out of Trump’s way and let him work.
The people need to warn all members of Congress - you have failed. Your failure has backed the President into a corner where the tariff is the only option remaining. Shame on Congress!!!
