President Trump’s agenda has less than 50 votes so the Majority Leader has a point. It looks like President Trump needs to cut a deal with Sen. Schumer or win the 2018 midterms and add Senators while not losing Rperesentatives. Other events could intervene though.
If the majority leader used his leaverage he could get the 50 votes. What happens to Senators when they vote down republican bills? Answer: not a damn thing! In fact they are playing their part in the kabuki that McConnell dances so well. If McConnell could get 50 votes then he would require 60.

Yes, when they had the Congress an the White House the Democrats were always reaching across the aisle, seeking bi-partisan consen ... wait,
the `rats rammed Obamacare own the country’s throat even though the town meetings on the subject were marked by vociferous opposition from the folks not exempted from it and expected to pay for it.
The GOP saw the vote Christmas Eve, 2009 as a `win-win’: knowing the `rats had the votes allowed them to wear their sackcloth and vote `Nay!’.
And then the`pubs grumbled for a few years and we gave them the Congress, and then they wore ashes until 2014: “If *only* we had the White House, anything we pass Obama will veto, oh dear ... “ Now they show their true colors.
Why would we want to add even more worthless teats to the GOP-e boar hog/Sister Wife to the Democratic party? Support them?
I will work to defeat any Republican not supporting President Trump, particularly Lyin’ Ryan, Twitch and any of their Uniparty, #nevertrumper an `rat backslapping pals. And my own “conservative” rep as well if he doesn’t get on the damned stick. Do-nothings.
I think the GOP will pick up Senate seats which will force the GOP Senate to act for the Trump agenda.
