SSG Shavonde Chase thanks for the most interesting read/share!
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate would debate the funding bill this week and that most Republicans did not favor a change in the rules to make it easier to pass legislation without Democratic support.
Trump said his fellow Republicans had to acquiesce to Democratic demands in spending bill because the party's majority was too slim to win the 60 Senate votes needed to advance the legislation without them.
Republicans hold 52 of the Senate's 100 seats.
"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%," Trump wrote on Twitter
Republicans last forced a government closure in 2013 for 17 days. Democrats said Trump would shoulder the blame for any shutdown now.

It has only been 100 days!!! It takes that amount of time to turn a raw recruit into a basic warfighting machine...PERSPECTIVE FOLKS. No President has been able to do anything worthwhile in the first year let alone 100 days. Everyone expects him to be a miracle worker but it takes time. If he hasn't produces in the first year or two well then in four we can get rid of him but until then, he has to work the agenda...one priority at a time.
