“Problem is he doesn’t have enough support in Congress to get it done in full.”
How is it that when Obama was in office, the federal government was shutdown and the Republicans got blamed, until they caved to Obama’s agenda? why couldn’t Trump insist on money for the wall, defunding Planned Parenthood, etc, and when the government got shut down because democrats wouldn’t support such a bill, then Trump could point the finger at the intransigence of the demoncrats for causing the government to close. can’t the repubs play the same game as the dems? forget how the MSM would react. “weak as water” as Mrs. Slocum used to say.
“can’t the repubs play the same game as the dems?”
For one thing, President Trump can’t shut the government twice in 5 months. This bill just isn’t worth it politically. Also he has a split GOP. The GOP Reps and Senators in the northern big city states vote like liberals or they don’t get re-elected. That’s the hand President Trump was dealt. Until the voters replace these Rinos with a stronger bread, it will always be an uphill climb.
