Analysis: The growing signs of a rift between Trump and the Senate GOP

President Trump speaks to members of the media last month. He is accompanied by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , left, and Sen. Roy Blunt . By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 10 at 9:10 AM The Republican Party has spent most of the past three years kowtowing to President Trump, terrified of inflaming the conservative base he has cultivated.

Other senators have also expressed concern about how the dismissals have been handled. On Tuesday, Sen. John Neely Kennedy suggested the White House’s tendency to bash outgoing figures like Nielsen would make it difficult to find qualified replacements. Mr. Shelby told Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the committee’s top Democrat, that Mr. Mulvaney was “the most dangerous man” in Washington, according to three people familiar with the exchange.

mhizpraizr582 Trump IS STUPID, AND THE GOP MAY BE. STARTING TO SEE IT!!!

Complicit republicans enabling a criminally corrupt president will be held accountable

You or have been saying that stuff since last month. I don't care. I'M more concerned about our farmers. Now snow bomb is coming to that area.

Nah. They’re all a bunch of Trump co$ksuckers.

You mean they might have a spine after all?

Lordy, there's no rift

with russian troops and nuclear bombers being moved into the western hemisphere? hello, someone needs to stand up for the country,

Because they are waking up. They better or Trump finish their party off.Make them laughing stock

Nice try comrade

The rift bathe RINO’s and potus has been there since 2016

The old way of Governments being run has to change its so backwards its almost impossible to get things moving Life has changed but Governments are stuck in their old fashioned corrupt steam engine locomotive momentum Respect and support your President

Nice theory. One counters that the Turtle Has no soul. ThereIsNoBottom

The GOP today is: No Abortions or birth control Guns everywhere Cage brown and black people No relief for the poor Justified terrorism for domestic violence Increase the wealth of the rich Build a wall Make new laws to suppress voting No immigrants of color Encourage civil war

Stop teasing me with this bullshit. There is no rift, and you know it

This is lazy. Private - and anonymously sourced (thanks a lot, journos) - grumbling about trump has happened steadily since before he was sworn. When there are actual VOTES against trump's wishes, you'll have something real. This 'growing signs of rift' stuff is horseshit.

No, they are protecting their 'phoney baloney jobs'.- Gov. LePetomaine

Perhaps GOP-ers (at least those with a little perspective still alive) recognize, as the wheels fly off their shit-wagon, that there's a difference between life in prison without the hope of parole & life in prison WITH the hope of parole...'

Because he moves things forward and Mc Mush and the RINOS are useless.

It must drive trumpy nuts that he can’t clean house with elected officials like he can with his administration!

They continue to back the madman even if it hurts the country and what is left of the Republican Party. They deserve what they get.

BRAVO GOP Senators you allow this fool to KILL your party. (Such as it was.)

Cleaning the swamp is a dirty job!

No rift. They are in lock step.

Mmm hmmm, right...

Oh honey, there's no rift, only grift.

GOP Senators are Trump's useful idiots who have fully ceded their power, independence, dignity and spines. They approved an AG who says President has unlimited powers. By the time they wake up, it will be too late. That's so often the way these things work out.

Analysis: your head is up your a$$

Then they came after me, and there was no one left to defend me.

Maybe in Nov. this will really happen, not till they see the reality in the polls.

Trump would pick a fight with his underwear, he is that insane 🙄🙄

I hope this is true and the Senate GOP will abandon ship then VoteIndependent!

FFS WaPo.... they are effing complicit!

More propaganda from the post 😱

Walls are closing in, he’s in his last days, collusion, Russian asset, and now there’s a rift... WP is worthless for reporting and great for comic relief. 😂😂

LIARS..LIARS...PANTS ON FIRE!!!

HAY SARAMPION EN TODO EEUU!!!!!

VACUNA A LOS NIÑOS TRUMP!!!!!

The Cain Mutiny is coming.

People need to stop asking why Republican can stand with this president. when we already know it's about greed, power and money!

But only because the insiders have requested it to be so! Its obvious that U republicans are just other wing of the democrat party

Hell! even Steven Hawkins thought Trump wasn't fit too be President, he called Trump a DEMAGOGUE, (playing on peoples emotion)so for the emotions Trump don't care about, lets go, vote him out,let not rain, sleet nor snow stop u from voting in 2020. ChannelChangingTime. 2020

Analy-what? GOP Senates are always unruly. W had Olympia Snow and Lincoln Chafee. WaPo sticking in its thumb and pulling out a plum is plagiarism.

Don’t get your hopes up.

We’re back at “the Rift” again?

🤣

The Senate GOP is the only thing protecting Trump from well-deserved impeachment. There is *no* rift between them. They love him. Your Analysis earns: Five Pinocchios.

Pfft. This is wishcasting. They may click their tongues at him but they won’t do anything as long as their base likes him and he keeps appointing conservative judges.

Good

They are corrupt cowards. None stand up. Ever.

They better get a handle on this, before you know it they will be passing legislation that defines separate branches of the government... Sarcasm intended

A rift won’t lead to a split or them holding Trump to account. The right do one thing the left can’t, stay together amidst their own internal disagreement. The left fractures in that situation. Into 1000 individuals groups.

BS

He is a nutjob

This type propaganda is why the WAPO has become nothing more than a tax write off for the billionaire

Wishful thinking at WaPo

More dishonest leftist media complex propaganda attacks against the President

The GOP forgot they took an oath to defend our Constitution, not the two-bit dictator occupying our WhiteHouse

Does not matter. SenateGOP and HouseGOP have demonstrated complete obedience to realDonaldTrump

If true, it will help to get him out at the next election. They need to speak to his base on their terms and turn them.

You mean finally the Republicans might give up on this guy? I doubt it...

And they were such great cronies ! 😢

Can't let go!, they will both sink!.

Haven't we been told this was about to happen roughly once per month for the past two years? Still no evidence.

When the Mueller Report is released, the rift may grow into a chasm. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport

Really A rift? It must be an extremely slow turtle-paced one.

The known signs that your news reporting is all propaganda and the definition of fakenews.

'And how does this highly theoretical, highly ephemeral standing up for themselves phenomenon manifest itself in the real world?' 'Oh, it doesn't. Not even close.' 'Great story.'

One can only hope! fuckthem

Bah!

Speed it up, dipshits! Rift can’t widen FAST enough....

Analysis | The GOP’s capitulation to ObamacareThe events of the past few days make it clear: Obamacare is here to stay. And Republicans aren't even interested in pretending otherwise anymore. I doubt the most delusional Trumper will vote for a health plan that doesn't exist. And they simply don't have one. 'We're going to repeal Obamacare in the first week and it will be so easy!' - Trump while campaigning What’s the count to now? 2 capitulations? Or 3?
