Am I embarrassed at the behavior of Congress (particularly the GOP) for not rallying behind, or supporting their President? Yes.
I, personally, do not understand this attitude. The POTUS is not the head of the legislature, they are not in charge of it in any way, they are not superior to them or their leader. Especially when a POTUS has an agenda that is contrary to the party platform he was elected under there is zero reason why those in Congress should support the policies of the POTUS.
