This is the first time I've thought the GOP will lose the House in the midterms. If Trump signs this #omnibus bill, we're through. I suspect Trump does not realize how many people have tolerated his antics solely because he was doing conservative things. He's about to find out.

I get the feeling that Washington believes the current unrest is just another Tea Party they can ignore, ridicule, co-opt, or shut down.

This bill is not irrelevant. This bill is the foundation of the next two years of campaigning against Trump. It’s projected the current FY deficit will be $1+ trillion. Democrats will blame Trump’s tax cut for the big deficit “after obama righted the economy and brought down Bush’s massively irresponsible overspending. Now Trump has brought Bushism back and we’re dangerously risking another massive recession.”

Make no mistake, this bill is meant to steal away Trump’s greatest economic achievement. And you can count on the democrat press to run with that story up through the election.

And the congress has the votes to over ride

Well, then he does what he can within the bounds of his authority. But if he signs it, he owns it.

Whatever happened to the line item veto? Everyone wanted in 1992. In one of the debates Ross Perot said “Give it to ‘em so they’ll stop complaining that they don’t have it.”

Yes, it is.

All Trump needs to do to defeat this is remain true to his word and honor what he told us.

This is a test, and it’s pass/ fail.

We’ll see what happens.

Then leave them hanging.

There is no excuse for this.

With this piece of crap becoming law upon Trump’s signature, the ‘RATS and open-border globalist RINOs will have achieved something beyond their wildest hopes — the weapon that will give the ‘RATS the House and a Senate with the Republicans barely hanging on to merely a VERY slim majority.

Republicans are indeed the STUPID PARTY and, unfortunately, Trump will be joining them in their STUPID state. Trump’s agenda will be dead, his chances of a second term will evaporate and open-borders and Amnesty will prevail.

Schumer & Soros are reveling!

Nobody will quit on Trump unless Trump quits on them by signing that bill

SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional.

Go ahead and run away from the battle. We the people are at war and whether you can see it or not Trump is on our side

Trump isn’t quitting on anybody

If he vetoes. The congress will override and then he has to sign

You people are such sunshine soldiers

At least he would not have rolled over as you want him to do if he vetoes the bill. And his refusal to cower would empower his base.

We are not sunshine soldiers. We are an army of stalwarts standing up now to the globalists.

I’m always suspicious of posters who sign up a few months before an election....

If the Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote in each house, it becomes law without the President’s signature.

I am telling you right now, regardless of the omnibus bill, Republicans will lose the house in the fall if they plan on using the messaging they used in PA-18 for the fall. The omnibus could have built the wall, thrown out every illegal, defunded planned parenthood, hell it could have been the second coming... and if the republican plan for the fall campaign is the same messaging the entire GOP ecosphere blasted in PA-18 they will still lose the house.

Apparently few agree with your point of view.

Whatever is going to happen is going to happen, and there’s not a thing you can do about it.

It’s out of your hands and my hands.

Attacking me isn’t going to make me support the traitorous GOP. If trump lays their game, he’s going to lose.
