Six GOP senators vote to end shutdown without wall funding

Six GOP senators vote to end shutdown without wall funding
By Jordain Carney - 01/24/19 03:45 PM EST

Six Republican senators crossed the aisle on Thursday to vote with Democrats and advance a stopgap measure that would end the partial government shutdown without additional funding for President Trump's proposed border wall.
GOP Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Susan Collins (Maine), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) voted to advance the continuing resolution (CR), which would have fully reopened the government and funded it through Feb. 8.
 
The measure fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster.
 
The 52-44 vote in support of reopening the government without additional funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall is a major blow to Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
 
The Senate also rejected a Trump-backed proposal on Thursday that included $5.7 billion for a border wall. That 50-47 vote also fell short of the 60 needed to advance.

A handful of senators broke ranks with their party in the vote for the GOP-backed proposal. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin voted yes on the Trump shutdown proposal, as he had said he would. Republican Sen. Tom Cotton voted no, as did Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican.

I can't seem to see a happy ending in this.  The Dems have the advantage in that they don't care what happens to the country.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, speaking from the Senate floor, said he just spoke with President Trump and told him they are talking about a three-week continuing resolution to reopen the government.

He said Trump laid out his conditions, which he said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are discussing right now.

This is surprising coming from Lee unless his office was overwhelmed by phone calls and emails from his constituents to reopen the gov't.  Otherwise, I'm not quite sure.

The rest I expected.  Collins, Murkowski, and Mittens = RINO's.  I think we can count on those 3 voting against the president on most issues.

Oh, they care, just in a different way. They care that they tilt the votes to their advantage through amnesty and asylum and open borders helps them accomplish just that.

The Democrats believe in Cloward-Piven, destroy everything to build it back up in their own image.  That was the whole point of ObamaCare.

Well at least we know who the Rino caucus members are.

Does anyone know who the Pubs were that didn't vote for Trump's plan?

Trump had them by the shorthairs, and just threw it away.  The Nevers were right.  He is not one of us.

You're jumping the shark here, Sparky.  The ones who are not one of us are the six GOP Senators who voted against our interests.

Don't make me have to repeat this.

I am absolutely in line with Lee and Cotton... I doubt it is the wall that caused them to vote against - I think it is the compromise that is proposed to solve the matter that they are against.

I am not willing to trade any sort of amnesty in order to get the wall built.

Was amnesty part of either bill?

I have not read the bill.
But if it is something along the lines of extending DACA as has been largely bandied about, then yes, that is a form of amnesty.

   It's been all over the news @Right_in_Virginia that the 'Trump' bill had provisions for a 3 year extension on DACA protection measures.
   To many, like me, that codifies obummers EO and that is a form of AMNESTY no matter how you Trumpers slice and dice it for some form of affirmation.

   Your base is crumbling and of course you still blame Conservatives.

It is so tiresome trying to reason with people hell bent on destroying this nation in the hopes of inflating their own egos.

And I'm not referring to Lee.

For cripes sake @corbe what part of DACA protections are neither amnesty nor a path to citizenship are you unable to grasp? 

And if "my" base crumbles, yours goes down in flames, Sparky, so be damn careful what the hell you're wishing for.
