Dems may oppose the wall, but if GOP wanted it, couldn't they fund it? They don't want it, right?

Sorry for the vanity, but I'm confused about the posts blaming Dems for blocking funding for the wall. The GOP is still in control of Congress, or was there an election that I missed?

$2B to kick off wall construction out of a $3T budget is hardly a rounding error. The wall is a political football. Except the GOP is mis reading the situation. It is a football filled with nitro glycerin.

Trump is considered an outsider to the GOP. The GOP is working with Democrats to make Trump fail at everything he said he wanted to do during the debates.

The wall needs to be pushed hard before 2018. Otherwise, people will stay home.

Won’t get fooled again.

The Jon Ossoff body double is an open borders idiot. He is also a traitorous coward

Where was the Freedom Caucus when Johnny Bonehead was defeated? Why didn’t one of them step up?

Because the Republicans are incomprehensibly Lazy.

Worthy of the Whigs in every way.

They want all the perks with none of the work.

I don’t take anything for granted with the Republicans. We’re going to have to take this one victory at a time.

Potentially we have the votes. But we have people like Sen. McCain and Sen. Collins who long for the good old days when Republicans and Democrats could work together on a give-and-take basis. That’s why Sen. McConnell had to ease them along on the Supreme Court nominee. We have to be in this for the long haul. Always advancing, of course. A mixed bag of small and big victories. Bigger victories will follow when the economy revs into high gear. Remember, victory on immigration is not just the wall. It’s also anchor babies, unvetted refugees and immigrants on welfare.

The GOP establishment has made it clear that they would rather have had someone else as president instead of Trump - even Hillary in some cases.

They see him as an intruder; a usurper of their party leadership, and an unwanted reformer of their perfectly satisfactory “Good Old Boy” system.

Don’t you wish they had stood up to Obama’s profligate spendthrift ways as strongly as they are standing up to Trump’s request for small seed money to start building The Wall?

As long as Trump is president they have no loyalty to the party platform, to the party or to their own president.

They want Trump out of there in 2020.

Between now and then they are not going to do anything voluntarily to make his administration a success.

People forget there is nearly a trillion dollar annual executive slush fund. This is all kabuki theater. The money is there.

Why if the "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" funded the wall, they'd have to give up their gardeners, their babysitters, their cooks, and their housecleaners.
Then they'd actually have to pay United States Citizens to do those jobs, and that would cost them more than they want to pay. < /sarc>

“I tried to warn people about him, he’s a Cheap Labor Express Republican.”

And that’s the problem, most of them are because that’s who pays them off.

“Trump is considered an outsider to the GOP. The GOP is working with Democrats to make Trump fail at everything he said he wanted to do during the debates.”

Exactly! They both want things back to “the way they were,” where they all live comfortably while their inaction screws the rest of us.

Not until many more districts do what mine did when we threw out the weasel Eric Cantor.
The weasels outnumber the good guys by a large margin.
It’s even worse in the Senate as I enumerated.
