Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) will break with President Trump and vote to reopen the government without funding for a border wall, his spokesman told The Denver Post editorial board.

Gardner is one of three Republicans expected to vote to advance the "clean" funding bill.

Gardner’s spokesman told the Post that the senator planned to vote for a “clean funding bill … with no border-security funding attached.”

Is this the bill that DOES NOT fund DHS?

There is or maybe there was a Democrat bill which funded everything except for DHS. I read that yesterday and that is a gigantic reveal for what the Democrats really want.

The dems do not just want to kill Boarder security they want to kill the law enforcement behind border security or national security or Homeland Security!

There have been a few remarks from a few Democrats over the last several months regarding DHS (or components thereof) and when I heard about this bill yesterday I was made very aware of what their real purpose is behind holding back funding for border security. They want to kill off DHS.

“This is why Trump should build the wall with emergency powers before they can peel off enough votes to defeat it”

The fact that he hasn’t done this tells me he’s not in charge of anything. Other decisions he’s made in the past few months are painting that picture, too.

Who needs Democrat enemies when we have Republicans doing their bidding. Trump should make it VERY clear right now..ANY bill passed that does NOT include border wall funding will be VETOED

“Who will follow his orders if he declares a national emergency?”

You ask a very good question. I’m convinced that’s one of the reasons why he backed off on the FISA docs release. The corrupt state was REFUSING to do it. Not to mention threatening and blackmailing him with obstruction if he ordered it.

GOOD! It can’t be destroyed fast enough for my liking! Nothing but a cabal of effing cowards, all of them about as useless as tits on a bull.

It’s all Trump’s fault. Right, the Republicans in Alaska don’t even vote in the primaries. We had less than 2500 people voting in the primaries at midterm.

EG, he has not been in charge from day one, and not by his choice.

So what are we going to do about it?

Gee, it’s too bad it won’t be enough to overturn a Presidential Veto.

Let’s see, three defections means a 50-50 Vote with V.P. Pence being the deciding Vote.

An bets on the next GOP Traitor who will fall?

What would you expect from a state whose populace elected an unabashed sodomite, who “married” his boy-toy butt buddy?

Between the commies, the faggots, and the dope addicts, Colorado is a lost cause ... just like Komiefornia.

I live in Cory Gardner’s district, this guy is a snake. Northern Colorado is turning more liberal every year, but I will never vote for this two faced little sissy again.

Not going to be a declared National Emergency sadly, Trump won’t pull the trigger as his handlers in the WH and the GOp will not allow it.

Riiight.

Everyone knows Trump's just a figurehead, put there to placate the masses.

Yes, and its about time we realize that the President we elected cannot complete his duties under the Feds subversion of the Constitution.

So what can WE do about it?

This in the ONLY question.

Meanwhile the dem-infested legislature of Colorful Calirado is about to make our presidential votes irrelevant by only allowing the Electors to vote for who wins the national popular vote.

And with California's new ballot harvesting laws, it's unlikely a Republican presidential candidate will ever again win the popular vote.
