it means your party leadership is pretty awful. Hillary had no business being a major party nominee. Granted Trump had no business either, but we already know the GOP is a dumpster fire due to having to appeal to an ignorant base.

How didn't they know what the narrative would be? You or I could have predicted that. That's the incompetence of leadership. Now they're trying to shove another Kennedy down our throats.

The post Palin GOP is a party embracing ignorance. I don't think there is a way around it.

I'd bet most elected GOP members know this, but they certainly can't say that.

The Senate is close to a deal on a 2 year spending deal.

If I were a Dem, I'd be livid at Schumer for how he handled the past month.

Between him and Mitch, neither party in the Senate has strong leadership.

In the article it mentions the deal and Trump's bluster etc. Then it goes with Pelosi running her mouth about no deal without the Dreamers. What giant gun do these Dreamers possible have to the pols heads to warrant this behavior?

Elections have consequences.

The thing is Pelosi has no power to block this as the House is a simple up/down vote. It's Schumer and the Senate (where 60 votes are needed) where it can be blocked. However, it seems like the Senate has a deal so it's going to have the votes tjhere.

Pelosi threatening to vote it down is just hot air.

Look no further than the growing Hispanic population. W and other republicans tried to get out in front of it BUT the far right beat them up. In the next 15 years republicans are going to have some issues. Arizona will definitely be a blue state and Texas may purple a decade after that.

I think you (and the Democrats) are overestimating that in the long term. Most Hispanics are hardcore Catholics and really very conservative. Democrats may get their votes in the short term based upon the perception of how DACA was handled, etc. but I really don't see Hispanics being married to a party that advocates for abortion in the ninth month, preferential treatment for the gender dysphoric, etc.

This would have been the case had you not inserted Trump into the picture. By following Trump, the GOP has probably lost an entire generation of Hispanics who would have eventually gravitated towards them on various issues.

Yeah, like I said, I'm sure that will be the case in the short term. But I do think the factors I mentioned will give some Hispanic voters pause once Trump is out of the picture.

Someone remind Paul that he voted for a tax bill that adds to the deficit. We have a legacy of Paul's that steal.

Between the tax cuts and the spending bill, now up to 2.7 trillion to the Debt. Stand proud fiscal conservatives.

And at 8-9:00 on a snowy night I'm riveted by this fraud filibustering on the Senate floor.

I really have to rethink things

With Congress, you have to get everybody in a room and you have to get them to agree.

I'm really a great negotiator. I know how to negotiate.

I like making deals, preferably big deals.
