Trump needs to use the bully pulpit and ask American people to write and call their congressmen and senators and tell them to get on board with his agenda.

He is not going to veto this. It is a CR on Obama’s budget.

Let the dems gloat and understand just who is feeding you your political news.

I've been paying scant attention, just concerned that they were going to go till September.

So, I'll give you the surface view: It's being put about that there's no funding for the Wall.

I probably should go check LS [Larry Schweikart] on both FR & Twitter. He usually douses these "concern grassfires". :)

He has.

He knows quite a bit about the process and the difficulty involved. It will not work at the speed of Trump and nor should it.

The Democrats will never get over losing the Supreme Court.

That they did!

You are overreacting, because you’re listening to the media’s spin, the Democrat’s spin, and conservative hysteria.

If you will watch the ENTIRE press briefing today with Mick Mulvaney, you will learn just how little the Democrats got out of the budget bill and how much more the President got for defense spending, education choice, etc.

The Democrats, as Mr. Mulvaney so powerfully laid out, are out there touting this budget bill as a victory for the sole purpose of pacifying their base. And unfortunately, there are too many on our side that believe it.

Yes. Their endgame with the Supreme Court was clear: with the Supremes in the bag, it was going to be a judicial dictatorship when necessary.

We saw what things were going to be like with the 0bamaJudgePresidents in Oregon, Hawaii & Maryland popping up and issuing "JudgePresident" proclamations.

Hillary & the Democrats were going to use the Federal courts to issue "a federal judge today ruled" dictums when her political agenda ran into trouble in Congress.

Just get rid of the two-track rule for filibusters, which allows a filibuster to persist while the Senate does other business.

If you remove that rule, Schmucky Schumer will have to stand in the well of the Senate with his allies and actually try to talk a bill or a CR to death, rather than simply raise a point of order while the Senate goes on to other business.

Will Schmucky want to stop a good CR with a talkity-talk filibuster? Maybe, but then the American people will finally see that it IS the Democrats shutting the government down!

Hard to believe, but it seems sometimes the folks want all the stuff - now. Must be millenniums. Old and wiser folks understand that with the proper planning and will, all is possible. Remember the slogan “Never Give up - Never Surrender” (Think that was from Galaxy Quest)

RE:”At first RINOs complained that they could not accomplish anything unless they had control of the House, then the next excuse was that they needed control of the Senate, then the next excuse was that they needed control of the Presidency, then there excuse was that we can't risk shutting down the government, then the next excuse will be that the Democrats will retake over everything, including the Congressional restroom...”

You forgot the 60.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We....May 2, 2017 Tweet
