Yes, but it puts these people in the Senate on record with their vote. I think it’s a brilliant move, and it might just pass.

What’s more how can anyone think that an 18% lead in a Senate race in that state isn’t going to translate into ANY kind of a victory down ballot in House races in that same state. It simply defies reason.

Another article demonstrating why “Conservative Inc” has been the politically impotent movement in history.

Instead of getting behind the bill and pushing to achieve a long sough poltical goal, “Conservative Inc” follow its usual SOP to mindless whine and shoot it poltical allies in the back for not doing it faster.

Pathetically stupid article from the usual clowns of pathetic whiners. And they wonder why they been poltical losers their whole lives?

“This is the reason why she is always behind the direction of her Party instead of setting its tone. Her mode of operation has always been to carefully calibrate everything she says based on the results of polls and focus groups, meaning that her shame rhetoric is unerringly backwards-looking.”

I went to a Trump Rally for Trump in Bloomington, IL in 2016. I was a volunteer behind the scenes. I was amazed at how few advance people were involved.

It was at a local airplane hanger. We set up the security screen, then let people pour in.

Trump arrived by plane, taxied, walked to the podium...spoke off the cuff and left.

Contrast that with, hundreds, I mean the hundreds who were involved with Clinton, plus with what she was going to say, all scripted.

REmember also those awful campaign videos of her’s?

I was referring to the lead in the race for senate in Texas.

But I AGREE wholeheartedly with what you are saying.

And I like it too.

Don’t like that in real time he has been with Ryan the past 2 years in holding it up, though.

But I still agree the vote is a good thing.

I can’t lie.

Well, not here. Everywhere else pretty much yes :)

I just vote straight down ballot R after voting for the main event.

Primaries is where i will do more digging on who believes what.

But under NO scenario, is a D EVER a better pick than our fickle and fearful Rs, sad to say.

And now isn’t the time to be voting on principle for a person who cannot win, under another party.

So what? I can tell you right now all of the Republicans will vote for it, and all of the Democrats will vote against it, but since you need 60 votes to close debate the bill will die. And Dem constituents will be happy about the bill dying, and Dem senators perhaps even proud to have their vote on the record.

It’s just that it looks to me like Trump could very well come out of this with a 60 GOP seat Senate. How could there be any Rat victories down ballot in those states? I just have a hunch that in reality there is little chance the Rats even pick up seats in the House.

I agree. It’s all bluster and dreaming.

Reality, like the presidential election night, is what matters.

And the reality will be good for us.

REd states dems who vote against it do so at their own peril.

I think it’s a good thing....

Simply put the Rats in an impossible situation
The American people want the wall. They have a choice either vote for the wall or answer to their constituents.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Mzz Clinton. Since we can’t be civil to those who want to destroy everything we care about, that means us conservatives/Republicans are free to be uncivil to Leftists everywhere, including you. Cool.

Ditto. It might just give Republicans that 60/40 Senate they need to pass it after the Midterm's. In fact that may have been the plan from day one.

Like they voted against Kavanaugh at their own peril?

Because the districts are already gerrymandered to maximize Republican victories.

My wife and I will definitely be voting to save Congress. After we vote I promised her a dinner and BEER.
