We never had 60 votes in the Senate
The house sent stuff across to the senate where it died because there were never the votes to prevail

Yes, that was an impediment. But back to the House, Ryan and his loyalists (all of whom the GOP allowed to stay in their positions of leadership) refused to do anything meaningful on immigration reform, obstructed many of the investigations into Democrat corruption and criminality, resisted construction of the wall, and did nothing to slow down the rate of government spending.
In large part, because of these and other failures the Democrats were able to make big gains in the House in the 2018 midterms.
Mitch and company are not exactly champions of Trump’s agenda either. Bottom line is that Republicans don’t really try to represent us. They represent K street instead and are always too willing to appease their Democrat colleagues.

Yet Democrats always seem to find 60 votes for their pet projects. Planned parenthood, NPR, etc. Why is that? Don’t buy the “we don’t have 60 votes” beltway theater flim flam from the GOP. The GOP don’t want 60 votes in many cases. We’re being lied to. It’s that simple.
