Republican senators in disbelief over Trump shutdown threat

[Guno צְבִי]

Several GOP senators said that even if the House passed additional funding for border security, it could not pass the Senate, where votes are needed from Democrats to advance it.
"No, he won't have 60 votes over here," said Sen. Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican who's the chairman of the Budget Committee.
Even though it won't pass the Senate, House GOP members have calculated that they'd rather attempt to pass a short-term spending bill with $5 billion for a wall to be on the right side of the President.

Republican Party...meet Dr. Victor Frankenstein.

 

[MAGA MAN]

They only need 50. Pence will break a tie.

 

[Micawber]

Why would Republicans care that Trump is threatening to shut down the Mexican government? Am I right?

Surprised to hear you are having so much trouble getting votes for Mexico to pay for a wall. Am I right?

 

[Ross Dolan]

The Senate will need 60 votes to pass this pretend legislation. They do not have 60 votes...PERIOD.

The bill is doomed. It will be returned to the House with the $5 billion removed.

I am sure the senators are furious with the House members for passing this joke...knowing full well that it cannot pass the senior chamber.

McConnelll cannot get 60 votes for cloture.

The will of the people tell us that they do NOT want a wall. Its only your kind.

how do you figure that, is your math education from CNNU too

The American people, the majority of the American people according to our election process want the wall.
Democrats , actually 49 people want to override the will of millions, sounds like the Democrats have a problem.

If the Democrats want to shut the government down because 49 disgruntled malcontents cant have their way, then let them do that.

Trump is like an artist

Lets shut it down and Trump will take the blame as he said.

 

[Jarod]

I think they might give Rump 2 Billion and get this done, but we will see. He aint gettin 5 billion.

 

[Phantasmal]

Lets shut it down and Trump will take the blame as he said.

Wrong, he lied, again, already blaming Democrats.

 

[Getin the ring]

no nut-bag, too late for that.
Nancy Pantsy said lets let the process work, take up a vote in the house, which they did, the house passed the bill,
and the President is waiting for the Senate to send it to his desk, there are 49 disgruntled triggered nut-bags that would rather shut the government down than honor the will of the people.

pretty simple reality if you take your meds

 

[LV426]

This is exactly what Conservatives wanted when they voted for Trump.

This is exactly what Republicans wanted when they defended and supported Trump.

All of this is owned by Conservatism.

BURN THE LIFEBOATS

pretty simple reality if you take your meds[/QUOTIt was Trump himself that said he would take full responsibility for a shutdown.
