    McConnell seriously weighing scrapping some or all of the August recess, I’m told. Trump and some GOP senators are pressing him to scrap it. Plus it has a political benefit bc there are more vulnerable Dems than Rs, meaning they’ll be in DC rather than campaigning at the time

        I love how the media just casually tweets about the imposition of barriers to alter electoral contests. It's the same unquestioning servility that had them tweeting and propagating information gained through espionage. Do better for gods sake.

        YES! We can see what the GOP is doing with one eye closed. This is also why Trump has been tweeting about scrapping the recess. We'll take up the slack.

        "Trump...(is) pressing him to scrap (August recess)." As long as Trump can still take 4-day golf weekends.

        Maybe some of those vulnerable dems could send their relatives to sit in for them while they are on the trail. Kind of like ivanka. No one should say a word....

        Hay here’s a good idea how about MSM cover Democrats and candidates running instead of following trump around all day everyday day every minute! Screw his tweets help the majority of America for a change!

        Is anyone thinking about if that is good for the country instead of just looking at the political advantage everytime?

        It would be good for the country if the party in charge was actually doing so much work that they needed the extra time in August. Unfortunately, the party in charge is only looking to do this for the political benefit to their own party, not the country.

        There are things like infrastructure that I can agree with the GOP but even that is not going to happen. It’s a disgrace.

        This pushing for Congress remaining in DC while all the while Trump’s off at one of his clubs playing golf. The only time he works is when millions are to be made. Make China great again....

        Since Dems votes are meaningless, they should go home and campaign.

        They are not. If Dems not there, changes threshold for votes.

        Is Paul Ryan doing the same in the House? With all the GOP retirements there are more vulnerable republicans.

        GOP gimmicks that will backfire. GOP supporters will ask if they're in DC all the time & have control of both houses why isn't more done. Answer- no leadership from GOP leaders or Trump. Only fear. @SenateMajLdr @realDonaldTrump #bluewave2018

        Tough decision for the GOP leadership to make, go home and screw/lie to voters or stay in Washington and screw/lie to voters.
