I think the point they were trying to make is that a lot of R districts/states will feel the blunt of these cuts the worst (farming). The hold that Trump has over Rs in Congress is continued power, and they'll lose that if their constituent start feeling the hurt from all this instead of the "libs"
I don't know how to drive home to people that the republican house and senate HAVE NO LINE
There's nothing trump can do that will get them to say no.
Stop thinking "surely they can't let THIS go"
They can. They have. They will.
