DEMOCRATS GROW A SPINE. VOTE TO SHUT DOWN the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND the REPUBLICAN PARTY. Republicans are their DEATH BED PRAYER REQUEST stage, PRAYING the Republican Party LIVES ON.

 

“Johnson early Monday afternoon acknowledged the opposition the budget resolution faced, saying “there may be more than one” GOP member planning to vote against it.

“But they’ll get there,” Johnson told a crowd of activists at an event sponsored by the right-wing policy group Americans for Prosperity. “We’re going to get everybody there. This is a prayer request. Just pray this through for us, because it is very high-stakes, and everybody knows that. … I don’t think anybody wants to be in front of this train. I think they want to be on it.”

“Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-New Jersey), formerly a Democrat, said he called Trump on Monday to tell the president to reinforce his pledge not to cut Medicaid.

“Don’t touch seniors’ Medicare, and don’t cut Medicaid, because it isn’t just for lazy welfare people. It’s for real people,” Van Drew said. “That’s the new Republican Party, a populist party, a party of working people, a party of blue-collar people.”
