Senate GOP effort on Trump border wall seems to fall short

An eleventh-hour rescue mission by Republican senators to stave off an awkward defeat for President Donald Trump on his declaration of a national emergency at the Mexican border, and to protect themselves from a politically dicey vote opposing him, seemed to collapse Wednesday.

The setback made it all but certain that defections from his own party will force Trump to cast what could be his first veto — on a struggle directly related to his signature issue of building barricades along the southwest border. It also left Republican senators facing a painful choice: defy a president who commands passionate loyalty from conservative voters or acquiesce to what many lawmakers from both parties consider a dubious and dangerous expansion of presidential authority.

"The setback made it all but certain that defections from his own party will force Trump to cast what could be his first veto..."

So.....?
So.....what?

Who CARES if Mr. Trump has to cast a veto against his own party, when his own party won't represent the wishes of the people they're supposed to represent?

Veto it, and be done with it.

And then... move on.
