Twelve republicans joined the dems:

- Lamar Alexander, Tennessee
- Roy Blunt, Missouri
- Susan Collins, Maine
- Mike Lee, Utah
- Jerry Moran, Kansas
- Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
- Rand Paul, Kentucky
- Rob Portman, Ohio
- Mitt Romney, Utah (the new McCain)
- Marco Rubio, Florida
- Patrick Toomey, Pennsylvania
- Roger Wicker, Mississippi

The RINOs are out in spades.

Now the president must veto it.

    My first thought was, "How much campaign funding were these senators promised by Soros and company?"
    What could be an alternative motivation?
    I have a major dislike for presidential emergency powers, which are not constitutionally granted. I could see that as a motivation under normal circumstances, but some of these senators are definitely motivated by politics, not constitutionality.

      That is what my thinking was as well.

      You should have seen the face of Alexander when he announced his opposition. He said there was no precedent that a president wanted money after Congress denied it. So he wants Trump to stand in line properly, to the mighty power Congress exerts.

      I am sure Trump is not surprised at this charade.
