Making America great again - Republicans have the White House, they control the House & the Senate and in regards to the funding agreement Lindsay Graham just said "I think the Democrats cleaned our clock".
President Trump is reportedly hoping to get more support on the latest iteration of the healthcare reform bill by making major concessions in the budget. He's far short of the necessary support to pass that bill, however. When the administration gives in to the Freedom Caucus on some healthcare reform points, it drives away support from some more centrist Republicans. Tricky.
Anyway, some conservatives are frustrated that President Trump has backed off his longtime demands for immediate funding for a wall on the Mexican border in the spending bill, along with backing off on his plans to cut Environmental Protection Agency funding and funding to “sanctuary” cities. The Democrats have good reason to celebrate.
