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.
Gardners spokesman told the Post that the senator planned to vote for a clean funding bill
with no border-security funding attached.

GOP never wanted a wall and Trump doesnt have the power to get them to change.
And POTUS can’t tell us the ugly truth because it would crush GOP base voter morale and elect even more Democrats.
...only 17 to go!
We need to cut-bait on Gardner.
He’s a rat in GOP skin.
When they elected Merkowski, evidently?
Do you realize that this would put around 20 (R) senators in office. All the others are sellouts.
Alinsky Anomaly in Alabama Weakened the weak R candidate & divided R Party. Jones wont be re-elected. A $^!+ Storm, having nothing to do with the entrenchment of Merkowski, In now blue Alaska.
So Trump will veto.
If they can get 60 votes in the Senate, it won’t matter.
FRiend, I can’t tell you what to do but no way I would hold my breath on that one.
>>Can Romney be far behind - in the end it wont be terrorists or communists who destroy this country - it will be the feckless Republican Party....<<
True, and no one should be contributing financially to the Republican Party because its members are engaged in activities that are contrary to the public interest.
Six Republican Senators voted for the Democrat plan to reopen the government - Collins, Cory Gardner, Isakson, Murkowski, Romney, and Lamar Alexander.
If he were going to do it he would have already done it and moved on, sideline the Dems and get the job done which would have been more effective and boosted his approval ratings...Jawboning it and threatening it make him look weak..
Best thing is to starve the beast, cut their funds off...
Graham laying low..?
They would then be truthful.
“Blue State reps, desperate for re-election. They can not be overt Republicans and win.
Whats the Alternative?
Sickening fact of the matter, but true.”
I continue to believe and will do so until proven otherwise, that the population of the Congress is at best 75/25 Maoists/patriots. Which makes a certain sense given that the population at large is about 75/25 net dependent/net productive.
The usual suspects. Actually, I’m surprised Mittens didn’t join them.

Actually, he did. Cheers.
It takes 67 votes to overide a veto. It’s not gonna happen.
But of course, you are the genius political expert who knows more than everyone in the White House!
