REPUBLICANS: Why wasn't the wall taken care of in Trump's first two years?

[The Original Tree]

People like John McCain and Jeff Flake in government are why the wall isn't already built.

This really is an amazing story.

Trump had the House and Senate for two years and couldn't get this done.

Now he's trying to push it through a hostile Dem House, and he's blaming THEM for not getting it done.

Incredible. And his flock is still buying this.
.

perhaps it was due to needing nine dem votes during those two years. just saying you ain't too bright jack.

 

[jc456]

This all seems pretty silly. If this is a "national emergency", why is Trump willing to shut down the government NOW, all of a sudden, when the GOP's strength has decreased so much?

It was his biggest promise. And he waits until the Democrats have the House?


.

This is a simple answer.
And I'm sure you know the answer.
60 votes.

And they don't have those votes now.

Why blame the Democrats if this was never going to happen?
.

why not, they are as much as anyone, since nine were needed back two years ago. you still don't get that eh? amazingly stupid you are.

 

[jc456]

Has anyone figured out how the repubs blew their chance ona wall to give rich people a tax break?

Two totally separate issues.

Hardly so since the wall is sooo important now it should had been important the first two years but they had no motivation to do it until after midseason when they knew they would fail if they lost either houses of Congress or it just goes to show how the repubs blew off the security of the US for the fiscal security of the rich.

again, another idiot that doesn't know how the senate was set up. go figure, oh wait, I knew you were stupid already.

Easy. If Democrats refuse to vote for anything who else can you blame?
You instead are trying to blame Republicans.
This makes no sense at all.

So this is just about blaming people.

Okay. That's politics, sadly. We'll see how this "national emergency" thing plays out.
.

well actually it's about facts. and it seems you don't use them. but nine dem votes were needed. it's how the whole senate thing works, need 60 votes. so all the posts saying he had both houses is false and fake the typical leftist position. Fake.

 

[evenflow1969]

Because the Republicans needed 60 votes in the Senate to pass thanks to Dems filibusters if there was any wall funding.

Like that fucking mattered the republicans eliminated it to confirm a supreme court justice. If they realy wanted the wall or had enough republican votes for it they would have done it again.

You are a time waster.
You want to hold somebody accountable for this, yet you claim blaming the guilty is some GOD Damned political game.
Just shut the f**k up until you can offer something constructive.

I just asked a perfectly reasonable question.

And, once again, a reasonable question made you angry.

Don't read my posts maybe.

And you must think that's bright.

they can do that for nominations, they can't for legislation. she's it's the Harry Reid rule. you should actually learn about our senate and the past.

yes he did. So what? are you saying he should have just sat on his hands? he needed to expose them. Too bad the people of the US's votes were fraudulently overruled by illegal votes. and the dems like you, don't care they voted. It's ok, we know who the enemy is.

I think that he knew he did not have the votes in the GOP Congress.

Essentially, it is still full of a bunch of "maverick" McCains.

So why pick your own party to go to war against? It's much better against nut jobs like Pelosi of your opposing party.

Why not blame Republicans? How is it the fault of Democrats now just because they control the House; but not the fault of Republicans who not only controlled the House for the last 8 years, the controlled the Senate for the last 4 years and the Executive branch for the last two?

Why not face reality and accept the fact that we’re not rebuilding the wall because neither party wants to?

The wall is a simple thing. It is symbolic. It will work. And if more citizens paid attention the last 50 years or so this would not be happening. We will probably end up with a war in the western hemisphere at some point. Reducing the population.
