    Because party Democrats are fucking cowards who fold the moment they face a moment of resistance. If I were the Republican party, I would have considered it to be a safe gambit.

    It’s good that the Democrats are refusing to give in now, but they really could have started doing that up to a year ago.

      Yeah, Chuck Schumer basically gave the Republicans everything they wanted earlier this year on the first CR. He’ll be willing to cave again once he gets fed up with all the calls from his corporate donors
