The Republicans control both houses - a border security bill should have been ready to drop in the hopper on the first day of this session, and passed by both houses within the month!

It is INEXCUSABLE that we don’t already have this - and it is Ryan’s and McConnell’s fault. These 2 need to get off of their asses and actual do something...because Nancy will never do squat.

Right on target!

But the problem is - as has been the case for at least a decade - that too many in the GOP in both the House and the Senate are puppets of big business lobbying groups who finance them. And they've been told by their handlers to support amnesty for illegals and no border walls. Then, too, to get a border wall passed in the Senate, you need some 'Rat votes because of the filibuster rule, one might think.

We’ll see how it goes.

As for bMitch and cRyan, you’ve sure got that right.

You got other things right too.

You need 60 votes in the Senate...and the Dems aren’t going to give them to you.

Ryan has always been a coward. Period.
McConnell has almost always been a coward and a scheming powermonger who thinks he runs the country. I’d like to inform him that he “ruins” the country with his lack of support for badly needed conservative Senators, getting key bills passed, and whipping the Senate into shape.

The House is way beyond that unless there is a physical internal coup with conservatives throwing RINO leaders out the back door. I know it will not happen. Not enough Republicans with guts in the House, at least in the House in Congress. Most of them live in an Outhouse, with their delusions of power and service. They are a disgrace and must be replaced by strong, pro-action conservatives ASAP.
