I love President Trump and all that he has so quickly accomplished as our president. It pains me to say this, but if Trump doesn’t Veto this POS, he is over, done, and no longer going to be seen as MAGA.

The GOPe wants to stop MAGA but don’t want their finger prints on it. The easiest way to do that is depress GOP base enthusiasm and lose the House.

They're doing an excellent job of it.

“...GOP deserves to lose control of Congress...”

Maybe they deserve it but the President deserves to have congressmen voted in who will support his agenda.

The GOP deserves to lose control of Congress this fall. Stupid idiots.

I think they are doing it deliberately. I think the monied classes that control Washington *HATE* Trump, and so the order has gone out to their lackeys to give Democrats control so that they can impeach Trump.

Trump is a threat to the big monied interests who control Washington in the same way that Teddy Roosevelt turned out to be a threat against those same Monopolistic Robber Barons.

The Nation is controlled mostly by New York and what those Billionaire Donors want.

"We have a Republican-controlled House. We have a Republican-controlled Senate. And we have a Republican in the White House. And we have a Democrat here tonight saying how great this bill is. There is a problem there when you have that."

We've had a problem for a long time... this just makes it all the more obvious to even the dimmest fool.

The Washington GOP elite have just attempted to commit political suicide of their House and Senate majority by acts sure to severely depress their own party turnout in November, by placing huge differences in priorities between what they are doing and what they were elected by their base to do.

I am not taking the reaction that THEY are “the GOP”. They are not. They may have the label but too many of them in Washington are there representing themselves and not the true GOP - the millions of registered GOP voters. It is those GOP voters that are “the GOP”.

OUR public stance must be NOT to lay down and surrender the GOP to those liars in Washington D.C. claiming to represent it.

All the rest of this year we have to demonstrate we are worthy of our goals by fighting for them, by fighting in all the primaries between now and November for a whole new cast of GOP candidates WE get behind; we put our time and money where OUR beliefs are.

Many of these same republicrats will be running for re-election as republicans in November.

They will be campaigning on the promise to cut spending, repeal O’Dumbo-Kare and provide money for the border wall.

Hell - why not?

It’s always worked before.

Why do we even have two parties, if they both do basically the same thing?

So that the monied Interests of the North East (mostly New York) can keep people from realizing that we are watching a sock puppet show that does what New York wants, but appears to the gullible as "Democracy".

It’s so over the top, I can only conclude the magnitude and content was done purposely to harm Trump, lose the House in the next election, or to show just how dug-in the establishment is against Trump.

Exactly what I am thinking. The activities of Republicans in congress appear to be designed to deliberately throw away their majority so that a Democrat majority can impeach this guy which is what the Wealthy Monied Interests controlling Washington DC want to happen.

Trump is a threat to the Plutocrats interests, and therefore he must be removed.

As my vote is meaningless, I do not see a reason to ever vote again.

The lying, spineless, RINO bastards can all go to hell.

I started realizing this in 1992 when the entire media conspired to elect Bill Clinton. I got another hint in 1995 when I noticed the entire media was against balancing the budget.

The Media system is controlled from New York, and it serves the interests of those people who get a lot of their wealth from government spending and government policy.

The media does what it's masters want it to do.

The nation is actually run by the Washington/New York corridor, with Boston, Los Angeles, and Chicago "elite" having input.

"The GOP is trying to lose in November."

This is the most likely explanation. Razor.

If this gets through the Senate and the president signs it, the party is over. I hope the President sees this coming.

Like others have said here. I love our president and what he has done for our country but I feel certain if this bill passes Nancy Pelosi is the next speaker of the house and MAGA will be over.

Don't forget there is GUN CONTROL in this bill. No matter what the significance of it is it won't matter there is simply NO REASON to be enacting any gun legislation whatsoever. 2nd Amendment supporters will not vote in November making it impossible to retain the majority.

I really hope the President knows something in that this bill will die in the Senate. Otherwise the only way to save his Presidency would be to Veto.

Sorry, You must have been sleeping. 90% of the careerist beltway GOPe does not support the MAGA agenda. We need lions and we got lambs.

This is the republican establishment giving President Trump and conservatives a giant middle finger.

Every last member of the house will, that's for sure.

“Show me one time in 8 years the Congressional Dems substantively opposed the Kenyan on a major issue.”

Show me one time the Congressional Dims, Obama and the Dim base were NOT on the same page. They were - all three parts - always on the same page.

Your comparison is an apples and oranges comparison.

It is not a call for “the GOP” to be “burned to the ground”. That is no different than saying the GOP elite in Washington IS “the GOP”, they aren’t. You can dam well be sure that if the Pelosi Congress and Obama were not on the same page as the Dim base, the reaction in the Dim base would NOT be to “burn the Democrat party down. The Dim base would go out and take the party back from them, NOT abandon and destroy the party.

To me, your reaction is EXACTLY what the Dims WANT to see the GOP base react with - not fight, just surrender the national political turf to them.
