GOP senators are nudging President Donald Trump to give up hopes for a $5 billion down-payment on a border wall in 2019.
My goal is to get the [budget] bills passed in December, said Sen. Richard Shelby, the GOP chairman of the Senates appropriations committee, said Nov. 15 after meeting Trump for a budget discussion. His committee has penciled in $1.6 billion for the wall in 2019, compared to the $5 billion in the draft House bill.
If its Wall or nothing! theyre going to get nothing, the top Democrat on the Senates appropriations bill, Sen. Patrick Leahy, said November 12.

I can’t tell the difference between the GOPe (like Paul Ryan and Jeff Flake) and the rabid dems. Quite literally a uniparty faking a difference.
Our system is broken due to this complicit corruption.
Why just Democrats?
They’re both screwing us.
I think Trump wants it, but he’s getting no support on Capital Hill.
Congress is worse than worthless.
Never has a President been hampered by the Courts, the Opposition and his own Party. This is open rebellion. If allowed to continue, we will be slaves.
Not I. My knee bends for no one save He who made me.
I like it; get the message to the President ASAP through all known lines of communication.
You’re quite correct. Thanks. The Senate was at fault, and it was the Ryan House who held the purse and passed the Wall funding.
How? Do you have any ideas on how to convince congress to approve the funds?
Trump’s doing what he can. The Pubbies screwed the pooch on this.
If you think too many RINOs is a problem, wait until you see the Demagogic Party control resume, with *fewer* RINOs. Richard Shelby of Alabama btw is the jackass who blocked SpaceX at every turn (it just didn't work).
no we’re not. People keep sending the incumbent.
Need a new p[arty and make the Top the weak 3rd party it acts like.
Trump has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. Wall funding or Mueller is fired should be their choice.
Why do you blame Mitch when it is Senators like Flake and Collins etc. who would vote it down. Mitch does not control them. An of course there is the 60 senator rule to get a vote to the floor. I just don’t understand your thinking at all and why a lot of folks blame Ryan. It is a certain group of GOPers that are holding the rest hostage and the Senate rules.
First off Trump needs a testosterone injection, then he needs to stop listening to Jarvanka
Then a fast read of Machiavelli will provide the answers.
Shut down if needed.
This is one of the main reasons why Republicans lost the House.
You should run in 2020, you can beat Trump based on that brilliant answer!
dvwjr
LOL
Force the issue...Trump should use his power as the CIC and close the border to all traffic from Mexico, slow search every truck and rail car for drugs, in weeks hundreds of millions of dollars in Mexican produce will rot....order the Treasury/IRS to stop the 60B in remittances back to Mexican banks until we’re sure it’s not drug money...f-congress...he has the authority...use it.
Will you donate to my campaign?
I agree with you. My point was, don’t blame the Senate leader for something that certain Senators (that Mitch cannot control) do not want to give Trump.
