Democrats and the public watches as Republicans struggle with the budget.

As I write this, who knows the fate of that Republican budget bill in the US House of Representatives?

Republicans tend to not listen to Democrats, but there is division within the house of Republicanism about this bill. Reservations ranging from it's Medicaid cuts to it's projected deficit increases related to the tax cut provisions.

Maybe Republicans, themselves, will delay giving Trump his victory of having the bill on his desk by the Fourth of July. The process may slow down so they can continue to refine the bill and hammer out compromises.

We'll see. We, the public and also the Democrats, watch from mostly being relegated to the sidelines.
