Why didn’t Trump get wall approval when Repubs controlled everything?

Someone school me on this. Was it not feasible during the first 2 years to get this done? I’m just not well educated on all of this. Seems dumb to have waited until now to try and get this done but I’m sure I’m missing something.

The cloture rule in the Senate
Posted on 1/7/19 at 11:20 pm to dualed
You would most likely need 60 votes in the senate.

Your either trolling or ignorant of how Congress works.

He only had 52 gop senators.
Need 60 votes to end cloture.

Not trolling. Extremely ignorant. And I haven’t kept up with politics much at all since the election.

Need 60 votes in the Senate. Still don't have enough Senate votes. Shut down gov't until the dems base start sky screaming.
Dems will be holding their own voters hostage because they are unwilling to give $5 Billion for a wall to keep illegal immigrants out of the US so they do not steal their jobs (not all illegals plan to work, these will be taking their food stamps, medicaid, and housing allowances, so the real US citizens will get less).

Same reason Obama didn’t do anything with illegal immigration when he had supermajority’s in Congress.

Because they made it hard to do things in the federal government
Except libfricks figured out a gay judge in Hawaii that doesnt know high school civics could block stuff

For a mere mortal sure.
But we have Mr. Art of the Deal. He literally wrote the book on it.

There’s probably some never Trumpers in the Senate that would have not voted either.

Was this topic discussed on Mother Jones recently or something? I’ve seen this topic started by lefties or newbies 3-5 times a day the past few days.

OP voted Trump and would have done it twice if he could have. It’s possible for Trumpers to have a brain and think for themselves, you know.

Blame McConnell for that. He refused to go nuke and get it approved. The dems would have done it but he doesn't have the nuts to pull it off. This is on him. Like the Mueller thing is on the idiot senator Sessions. Pussys playing nice. instead of leading.

Well it was mostly the cloture thing, but also because the republican party is a bunch of backstabbing peices of shite.
