Each time I say this I get heavily downvoted but come on how much more evidence do you need

Republicans control all 3 branches yet can not get a single thing done. Can't get a wall built or a budget passed or taxes lowered or Obama care repealed or anything

If that doesn't prove that the GOP is on the same side as the democrats I don't know what does

A simpler explanation would be that the Republican Party has multiple factions within the party structure, and those factions can't agree on the key issues.

There is no two party system. There is only the bank.

The reason they can't agree is because too many Republicans are uniparty stooges who are big government lovers and bow at the knees of their donors

Mark Levin was talking about this last night. Republicans are no longer the party of limited or small government. They are now the party of big government, and the democrats are the party of even bigger government and tyranny.

Well there is the establishment Republicans and conservative Republicans (Freedom Caucus/Tea Party types). The establishment Republicans need to be primaried.

The Freedom Caucus is the faction that blocked the Obamacare replacement bill, calling it "Obamacare lite." This observation contradicts your narrative. It was the small government wing of the party that blocked the bill, not the RINOs.

Um, yea, this has been true since Nixon. That's almost 50 years, dude.

You might like the Freedom Caucus now but just watch they will be the ones voting against tax reform, budget and wall. Just wait.

Freedom Caucus is controlled opposition. They voted for Ryan as speaker, for Omnibus, for debt ceiling increases. They only take conservative stands when their donors pay them enough to

Which team?

Forget my question if it's going to be a muddled rant about the "Zionists."

What would have been the value in passing the AHCA? The exact same fundamental issues that plague Obamacare plague that bill too.

This rational answer is not allowed in this thread. 250+ individual Republicans must be of a hive mindset or they are on the same team as the democrats.

People absolutely need to understand that the GOP has no desire whatsoever to help Trump with his agenda. There is only one party now.

Agreed. They both answer to corporate donors.

If only we had a politician that wanted to change campaign finance rules....

The way politician get funded in the #1 problem with our system. Until you fix this the swamp will just refill.

I'd say the 17th Amendment is a far bigger contributor to Congressional stagnation than campaign financing.
