The 60 votes for cloture is not necessary for budget bills, only a majority 51 votes in the Senate. The Republican Senate simply does NOT want to give President Trump the funds for the Wall on this last set of budget bills proposed by a Republican House and Senate. The House proposed 5.0 billion and the Senate 1.6 billion, who knows if a conference committee reconciliation will get any money for the Wall, rather than just “border security” which covers everything but the Wall...

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.

Numerous posters on this thread were blaming the House and Ryan. I tried to point out that its the Senate under Mitch that is the problem.
