In 2010 the GOP said give us the House and we’ll put budgets and spending back into regular order. We did, they didn’t. In 2014 the GOP said give us the Senate and then we’ll put budgets and spending back into regular order. We did, they didn’t. In 2016 the GOP said give us the White House and we’ll put budgets and spending back into regular order. We did, and again, they did not.
The White House is scheduled to brief media on the latest insufferable congressional Omnibus spending bill. Anticipated start time 12:15pm EST

That’s exactly the problem. The people here are all engaged, and are going to vote the right way, and we’ll urge our friends to as well.
It isn’t voting for the other guy that will hurt us, it is a lack of enthusiasm that could dampen turnout.
There were first time voters that turned out for the wall, immigration, 2d amendment, drain the swamp, etc.

The deal is that we need fiscal conservatives who don’t sell out to the special interests. Where are they? Money walks, money talks and the urge to become rich is the number one incentive to run for Congress. These mind blowing spending bills like this Omnibus are so big that it takes an army of economists to analyze them. The electorate has no idea what’s in these monster bills so we depend on our representatives to do the right thing. That’s when it all falls apart as our reps have become enjoined in “the system” and no longer represent us.

I gotta believe there is a plan–there’s always a plan. If President Trump signs this, there’s a reason–remember DACA discussions?
Gosh there were all kinds of hand wringing and threats…”if he signs a DACA bill I will jump off the Trump Train–he’s selling out his base! ”
And what happened? the Dems caved and nothing was passed–and now look–President Trump reminds everyone how HE came to the table to make a deal on DACA, but the Dems don’t want to fix it. He’s laying the foundation for the midterms–making the Dems own another failure.
I trust him–if he signs this, there’s a reason.

Remember that recent poll showing that the top republican voter issue right now was the wall and immigration? Nothing else came close. I Ithink they are planning on using this as the emotional anger/incentive issue to get out the vote this Fall to counter the democrat enthusiasm gap that currently exists.

I always hoped that POTUS hired Senate Majority Leader’s Wife Elaine Chao to have leverage over the UniParty SMJ Mitch McConnel.
Elaine Chao seems to be embraced by the Bush Globalists.
“Chao served as the 24th United States Secretary of Labor under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009, and as Deputy Secretary of Transportation and Director of the Peace Corps under President George H. W. Bush.”
I can only hope that POTUS uses his leverage as her BOSS to motivate Mitch McConell to see it his way. I doubt she would be missed if he convinced her to leverage her skills elsewhere.

After reading this entire thread and listening to all the Omnibus Pontificating, not a single time has ANYBODY (moderate to flaming right winger) mentioned that the President has submitted, on time in 2017 and now in 2018 two balanced budgets that were covered by projected tax revenues. Granted they did not cut costs but they were balanced and completely ignored by the majority party in congress who could have passed them with majorities. I will take a balanced budget with little or no cost increase at this point in time just to get the fiscal responsibility ball rolling.
A minor correction, Ryan actually complemented Trump on his very through balanced budget proposal and the promptly tossed it away as politically infeasible.
