When did he have 60 votes in the senate, McRocket?Sorry Trump supporters. Trump's great big beautiful wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for) isn't going to happen.
Interviews with a dozen GOP senators on Monday revealed broad efforts to wave Trump off from doing an end-run around Congress, part of an effort to avoid a politically perilous floor vote that could place them at odds with the president.
If the House passes a formal resolution of disapproval, the Senate would be forced to take it up with a majority threshold required for passage under procedural rules. That would mean just four GOP defections along with all Democrats would be enough to rebuke the president.
With less than 25% of Americans supporting another government shutdown over a border wall, and dwindling support from Senate Republicans, Trump's wall just isn't going to happen.
Better luck next time!
Republicans defy Trump on national emergency
If this is true, it's his own fault. He had two years and both Houses to get his wall..and 'the greatest negotiator' still could not get it done.
He's like the guy who crams for his finals the day after the test and than asks the teacher to give him 'another chance'.
It was split even last time. We could get something passed in the Senate if anything decent makes it there in the next 2 years. Scott's talking term limits..
