Republicans who once questioned President Trump’s competence or called him a “jackass” have spent recent weeks singing his praises and joining him on Air Force One as the president works to repair strained relationships on Capitol Hill ahead of the midterms.

Facing the prospect of a Democratic wave in November, the White House and GOP lawmakers have already begun to bridge their past differences in preparation for the political battle they will fight together over the next 10 months.

Trump spent the first days of 2018 huddling with GOP congressional leaders at Camp David, where they presented a united front despite the feuds Trump has waged with many of the party’s top leaders.

Sure, he's "repairing".   *****rollingeyes*****

But the President and McCarthy are becoming BFFs working on DACA/Immigration and trying to keep the government open.  This pleases me.   ^-^   McCarthy's also a waaay better spokesface for the House GOP than Ryan. 

From last evening in Mar a Lago ...

Be careful of McCarthy - he's a California R in the mold of Pelosi or Feinstein.

I am glad Trump is doing this and I hope for his success.

“Republicans must hang together, or they will hang separately,” Blakeman added.


A ridiculous expression, since in either instance, the end result is hanging.

In the context Franklin said it in he was quite correct.

In this case they can hang together or separately because they've all put an orange noose around their necks and are already in free fall.
