I heard Paul Ryan stated the US House is in lock step with Donald Trump. That is an easy way of avoiding conflict with those that elected Mr. Trump. The US Senate has a filibuster that will prevent adverse legislature to the people to pass. 

It is a re-election strategy. The Right Wing is always grieving over legislation measures that never make it into law. So, when the Republicans compaign for 2018 and 2020 they can blame it on the Democrats in the US Senate.

This time there are some really shadey folks full of hate that are also in lock step with Mr. Trump and the US Congress. The Democrats have to point out the Republicans are involved with people that sincerely want to hurt Americans.
