David Drucker: Republicans Don’t Trust Trump and That’s Why He’s Not Getting Anything Done on Immigration

‘They are now all on the hook for a vote’

EXCERPT:

DRUCKER: “And the way it works in the United States Congress, if there is no trust, you cannot get people to make tough political decisions on your behalf. In the opening you played a clip of Pat Toomey saying, 'We know this President is impulsive.' What Pat Toomey is saying is we can’t trust him. A few days ago everybody voice voted in the U.S. Senate this $1.6 billion or so for the border security that the President agreed to and asked them to vote for. They are now all on the hook for a vote they would have rather not been on the hook for, and the President just changed his mind after they had gone ahead and done it. That’s why Mitch McConnell, who is always at the center of every negotiation when he can be, has ceded all of this to Chuck Schumer and said, 'You go and make a deal with that guy, everybody come back to us when you actually have something.' They don’t trust him and that’s why the President is not getting anything done here.”
