Do you think it's more the GOP represents a broader group of people so can't reach am agreement? Or that they just don't know how to work together?
Right now the party in Congress, and in particular the Senate, is just too broad. McConnell started doling out pork to try to win people over, but the problem that causes is the more conservative folks didn't want that money touched. They wanted the pool to be used for tax cuts for the rich. Then there was the words from McConnell that the Medicaid cuts probably wouldn't really happen. Lee and Moran are both more conservative members of the Senate and so this wheeling and dealing and the fact the bill wouldn't go far enough for their tastes swayed them.
