Voters 'want us to do more,' Republicans say. They're just not sure what.

With six months before the midterm elections, many congressional Republicans are hoping they’re not done legislating yet.

A party-line bill funding immigration enforcement and White House security measures is now on a path to passage. But many in the GOP are already making a wishlist for yet another bill they want to pass under the fast-track budget reconciliation process.

The imperatives, they say, are clear: Their party needs to do more to address cost-of-living matters before voters go to the polls in the fall.

“The American people universally want us to do more than what we've already done,” Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said in an interview.

They want something that will benefit the average person. The GOP only knows how cut taxes for the rich.

And told them he was going to do.

They also want Trump to do less of the stuff they thought Trump was lying about.

Trump voters are morons. They only heard what they wanted to hear. Now they are finding out. Morons.
