WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s Capitol Hill lunch with Senate Republicans comes as the White House and its GOP allies try to coalesce around a political message ahead of the midterm elections.
Trump routinely drops in on congressional Republicans. The White House says the meeting Tuesday is to discuss the administration’s agenda, as well as the upcoming Senate vote on Trump’s nominee for CIA director.
Senators expect the President will discuss the economy and his upcoming summit with North Korea, two topics that Republicans believe are crowd-pleasers among the electorate they need to motivate in November to the polls. Some senators also want to talk about trade.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, said the senators look forward to talking about the “tax cuts and historic economic growth here at home, and the opportunity for peace on the Korean Peninsula that lies ahead.”
Republicans are increasingly relying on the President to help protect the GOP’s slim 51-49 majority in the Senate this fall.
They need to coordinate and draw up talking points and to do lists for the Trump -GOP Philosophy
This sounds like a three scoop affair!
“…to Lunch with Senate Republicans as they try to arrive at a way of Making Donald Shut Up by Any Means Necessary.”
FIFY
Choke on it, Looneytunes. I’ll be punching the ballot next to the name of the new Congresswoman from Pennsylvania’s recently de-gerrymandered Sixth District, Air Force vet Chrissy Houlahan. She’d be running against Ryan Costello but he’s running away like a little rabbit because of the political conditions you’ve created with your awesomeness, you braying jackass authoritarian crazy-ass ignorant freak. Bon appetit, really. Stuff your god-damned mouth.
tRump put McTurtle in charge of organizing the meeting.
His responsibility is to write down the orders. Mitch is more than willing to comply.
So…“Who wants fries with that?”
