Party of two ?

No, they are real republicans who don't blow which ever way the wind blows like lesser people. I respect folks who refuse to appeal to the dregs.

Seriously..... step back and look around.

From the article, it sounds like the budget is too lean for them, especially with foreign aid.

Trump should make his case to the people, and if what he proposes seems sensible, the people need to pressure their representatives.

This will be a problem for Trump.

We all knew that establishment hacks from both parties will not want to cut spending. Trump on the other hand, has demonstrated that he can get his way with these idiots.


(Remember Lindsay Gayham ran for the GOP nomination for President - Failed, Endorsed JEB - failed, Endorsed Cruz - Failed. LOL )

Well done Lindsey!

Lindsey Graham has not been relevant since he was one of the House "managers" for the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

I notice a lot of Republicans (and dems) say stuff like this to hedge their bets. A few years from now he will be able to claim he fought it tooth and nail and only voted for it to support the party when he knew he could not stop it.

They all play this game, how he votes is the only thing that counts, the words mean nothing.

That budget is indeed dead on arrival. Fail.

[GHOSTRIDER AZ]

Graham and McCain have always played both ends of the candle.


We will see when the Budget is finalized.

I thought the GOP was about balanced budget, this increase could cover the budgets of 5 agencies. Do deficits matter anymore.
