Discussion: House GOP Coalition Bucking Trump On Shutdown Grows To 12, Inc. Last NRCC Chair

Edited because I conflated Senate and house. We need 38 more as noted by Matt to get to veto proof in the House.

Does it matter, if the Senate refuses to bring it up?

McConnell is actively complicit with Trump. He needs a very harsh spotlight shone on him.

19 will turn the heat up on McTurtle big-time. Since there will be a demonstrable House override available and looming for legislation that already passed the Senate 100-0 in December (including his own vote).

I think that is idea of these house votes. These are all things the Rep. Should be for. We have bipartisan bills before the Senate and McConnell will not allow a vote.
Should be obvious, but I do not see the Press picking up on it. The Dems need to get in front of the cameras, all of them.

Thank you for an answer and I’m thinking along these lines. 20 R senators up for reelection in 2020, some deemed to be endangered right now and Turtle will hear from them because they want at least a shot at job security.

If he’s out there basically alone, the only person in the United States keeping the government closed, would that be harsh enough? :smile:

Yet, there is almost no reference to him in MSM articles and certainly not as the lynch pin holding Trump’s magical thinking together.

Obviously the perfidious MSM are complicit! Keeping the government closed for eyeballs! Wake up sheeple! :smile: Ha ha just kidding. We’re not near a veto-proof majority yet. That’s when McConnell’s exposed.

I’m guessing that happens first.

trumpp needs to explain himself in front of cameras instead of just tweeting simplistic, sophomoric racist messages. Also because Fatso said this to Senator Schumer while cameras were rolling.

“I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”

I’m thinking mid-2020 it hits the fans for Rs and scares them as much as they’ve ever been scared.

Well, he tried the other night. He moved on that camera like a bitch, but he just couldn’t get there.

Networks weren’t told it’d be an infomercial for his next only going to happen in mind campaign. They foolishly treated him like a serious prez. They won’t do that again.
