The Republicans in Congress have been absolutely worthless. It’s nice to see President Trump call them out for it.
Please tell me what I don’t get.
Trump is as rational as his base. We believe in practical solutions now. The President needs 60 votes in the senate to pass anything because McConnel will not go back to “Mr Smith goes to Washington” filibuster rules. Unlike the Republicans, The President and the Dems know the key to Washington is 60 votes in the senate, ANY 60 votes. The GOPe can get on board the Trump train and support the Pres and America, or be left behind while the Pres cuts compromise deals. We would like our GOP party to govern like conservative Statesmen, we would like to see 100% win-win legislation. But if Lyin Ryan and crybaby Mitch can’t get it together, 60-40 comprimises move us away from Obama’s nightmare.
We will remember the GOPe in the primaries, goodbye Ryan!
Maybe if the Republicans/leadership in congress had done something besides attack him weekly, given some support against the democrats and media,passed some of the items that the people voted for, did not slow walk every nominee. He would have not have had to go to democrats. These clown could not come together on one thing that would benefit the people and country. They were more interested in making sure trump got nothing
McConnell has done nothing but stop everything the President wants to do. Who was it that stopped health care reform Republican John McCain and what did McConnell say nothing. The Republican leadership in congress have done nothing but obstruct and attack trump and they are surprised he made a deal with democrats. Who is keeping the Trump/Russia BS alive in congress Republicans they control the committees. Have they looked at Clinton,Comey, Lynch, hell no. Have they questioned the SC Mueller and his disregard for USC 18 CFR 45, 600 no. In fact they are encouraging him to keep after trump. These republicans in congress along with their leadership is a joke. These clowns should not be in charge of anything and most likley will not be after 2018
That's simply not true. Everybody is quick to tout Trump's deal-making skills. However, Trump is also known for being frugal and making pragmatic decisions that benefit everyone.
How does working with S/P benefit everyone, except the nutty kooks that make up the Dem base?
I think Trump is playing a smart game here. He is under no illusions about the Demon Rat leadership. But he also knows he can give them a temporary victory and hopefully rouse the Republicans from their drowsy strolls.
Most of them aren’t kids. They all need to go home.
Problem being the republicans extended the debt ceiling out to 18 months with spending cuts and the demrats get 3 months with no spending cuts; a huge win for the Rat Party at taxpayer expense. This is the art of a demrat deal, nothing else.
This isn’t about DACA. It is a betrayal of taxpayers and giving a huge win to the RAT party.
Agreed. Schumer and Piglosi are the worst of the worst. This is a huge screwing of the taxpayers, conservatives, and the people who put faith in Trump.
Then can we start hanging them?
The “art of the deal” with Schumer and Pelosi? Must be some wonderful deal!
One way around the 140 character restriction is to keep replying to yourself until you are finished. Trump does that often. At the end of each tweet and reply you let the readers know where the reply stands by putting 1/3 (1 of 3), 2/3 (2 of 3), etc. at the bottom of the tweet to let readers know there is more. When you are finished your tweets and replies should all line up. It’s annoying but sometimes necessary in order to stop misunderstandings from short tweets.
