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.

Washington is a complete cesspool.

Yes, its worse than a swamp. Its a fetid miasma of corruption that is taking this country down. And we are running out of time.
Trump really does need to start a new party as there there is almost no daylight between the GOP and the Dems.
Sorry, but an electorate who hated them would not keep reelecting them.
“Looks like border state politics trumps all. “
Nah.
They’ll talk a bunch of sh!t, but they will not vote against this POTUS on a border issue.
Especially as we approach election season.
That’s WHY Trump is daring them. He knows, and they know he knows, they will NOT vote to overturn this action.
Take that to the bank.
But they have to talk tough for the CoC masters.
“Sorry, but an electorate who hated them would not keep reelecting them.”
Perhaps I should have said that the people that actually think about things hate them.
“Senate Republicans warn ... Scary.”
They must think they’re the executive branch.
So, this morning it was a few House members making a stink, and now it’s Ted and a few other LOSERS in the Senate working against OUR President in his efforts to try to STOP the invasion on our southern border?
YOU’RE FIRED!
Shut Up, Ted. Just. Shut. Up.
My fondest wish? When President Trump is done with his next term (Landslide, 2020) he starts a Third Party, hand-selecting candidates that have been schooled by him, personally.
That’ll really MAGA the Shiite out of the current RINO Quislings, LOL!
They need to listen to their constituents, who are across the board overall in favor of ending illegal immigration.
No, they didn’t, but they probably would bow up for real on President Trump. Anything to spite their base and to curry favor with their enemies.
The only thing worse than a Republican is a Democrat.
One was bought, the other naught.
That is the truth.
Yup.
“To think I preferred Cruz over Trump.”
Me too. And it’s time to give mea culpa number thirteen.
Yup.
Parody video of democrats....UNTIL...11:12 minutes when a town hall audience member utterly demolishes (RHINO) Republican Justin Amash of Michigan’s 3rd district for not supporting Trump.
That they’ve done nothing about changing the asylum laws, which is at the heart of the problem, tells you everything. They want the cheap labor. It’s pure greed.
The U.S. Senate is the most corrupt institution in the history of the country.
And it isn’t because of only the Democrat members.
Follow the money. It always takes you to the answer.
McConnel and the Chinese connection
Only one of many.
I went to El Paso in April to see what the heck is going on...what I saw was UN believable....hundreds and hundreds of “ refugees” came to our little shelter every day. They then were sent by bus or plane( mostly bus of course) to their “ sponsors” town...I just kept saying to myself “ where is Ted Cruz?”...it was an absolute emergency. FUTC
