Cotton is one of the few that are on the side of the citizens.
You are probably right about Scott and Lee, you are definitely right about Romney, horrible oversight on my part.
When Tillis smiles he looks too much like Joe Biden. It’s disconcerting.
To sustain a veto in this case means the resolution does NOT become law. That is, Trump’s will be done.
“Well, there are always primaries.”
Senator McDaniel (R-MS, 2014) thanks you for that thought.
(do I need the sarcasm?)
He hasn’t changed.
When did he publically repudiate his support for amnesty?
He’s doing the McCain two-step.
Sound like a conservative for two years and act like an amnesty whore for four.
“Build the dang fence”
Linda knows that if Trump sets his sites on you in a primary it is going to be a battle. Make no mistake about it Linda still wants amnesty but knows he needs to retain his senate seat to get amnesty when Trump leaves the arena.
As for the vote to sustain the veto Trump is smoking out the leftist Republicans one at a time and this is a good thing.
That is being hopeful.......
(and emasculating of Graham)
“When Hannity steers a conversation with him to anything concrete like criminal charges for Democrats Graham runs as fast as he can from the topic. Watch what Graham does and not what he says.”
Grahamhole is knee deep in the deep-state conspiracy to get rid of Trump. He spent the last year and a half warning PDJT against firing Mueller or Sessions. “There will be hell to pay”
Our fed govt is irreparably corrupt. We have a full on invasion underway and these aholes in the uniparty are aiding and abetting it.
These are infiltrators whose goal it is to bring down the “Deplorable” contingent in the Republican Party. These the ones who let Roy Moore lose and purposely lost the House majority. FWIW. I would vote for Bernie Sanders for President (but not hillary) if one of them ever ran for President or VP.
We did knock off Eric “the weasel” Cantor.
The Bush League Republicans teamed up with the Democrats this past year to avenge him and helped the Democrats defeat Dave Brat and elect Spanberger D-CIA.
A more hopeful interpretation is that with Bully Boy McCain gone, Graham needs some other Alpha-Male to latch onto for his “me too” political game (and for a dose of vicarious masculinity), and in this case that alpha male is Trump. If so, he’ll still be on board with the program in two years time.
Graham just got back from Europe where he was a busy beaver undermining Trump’s middle east agenda. End result is we will keep troops in Syria. I’m surprised nobody has posted that story yet.
Cotton is one of the few that are on the side of the citizens.
Cotton is on the Senate intel committee that has been busy colluding with Mueller. And we haven’t heard a peep out of him about that. He’s definitely NOT on the side of the citizens, unfortunately.
Thanks.
Linda knows that if Trump sets his sites on you in a primary it is going to be a battle.
Not really. Trump can’t fight both the GOP and the Dems and win reelection. The GOPe knows that and are going hog wild obstructing his agenda. Latest being that we are going to keep troops in Syria afterall.
He’s giving Kerry a run for his money.
Graham is a great kabuki actor—One of the best. A real 2 faced slime-ball.
Graham is still definitely committed to the McCain/Neoconservative foreign policy agenda. That hasn't changed. Graham has changed his tune on immigration, however, so even if his reasons for doing so are purely opportunistic (or driven by some weird emotional need, as I had suggested) he's still useful for now. That doesn't mean that we should like or trust the guy one bit.
The sequence that matters is
1) Congress tells the president (Bush) to build the wall
2) Congress doesn’t appropriate money to build the wall (Bush, Obama, Trump)
3) Trump identifies money congress has appropriated that can be allocated for (1)
Anyone in congress who is serious about stopping the wall needs to undo (1) and reverse legislation that the president (any president) should build the wall. Anyone focusing on (3) is just a Trump-hater - they agree the wall should be built, but don’t want Trump to be the one to do it.
As it is, they are all fighting (3) and leaving (1) as law, which means they accept the wall should be built but don’t want Trump to do it.
Ballots?
