The Republican senate has shouldered no blame for not taking a vote on legislation for half this decade.terrible post. i literally addressed this a million times because its the second half of why this was mostly a win/win scenario
-the deal passes, which was far better than what we're getting now
or
-the senate republicans turn it down, pelosi loses absolutely nothing, and the republican senate shoulders 100 percent of the blame for shooting down a stimulus bill for the american people. susan collins, ernst, thillis, all have to explain that vote to their voters
and maybe you can explain why mcconnell was "warning" mnuchin not to make a deal with pelosi?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020/10/20/trump-economic-stimulus-pelosi/
because he was terrified of actually having to be the one to turn it down
instead, the repubs are literally still getting away with blaming punching bag pelosi
Stop it.
You're literally arguing that they should just cave to their demands.
In January or February when there's a bill supported by the white house and the house you'll still be in here talking about they need to just cave
at this point if they cant understand thenterrible post. i literally addressed this a million times because its the second half of why this was mostly a win/win scenario

I found this little gem scrolling through twitter news on the stimulus package. If this is true all Schumer needs to do is round up the 48 dems and find just 3 willing GOP senators and we can get a big bill passed. Wtf are these people doing
Schumer trash

I don't expect him to do anything. Just pointing out the possibilities and a little wishful thinking.

You still think there was a "deal" that could have been accepted...
you and everyone who thinks you were onto something are a glowing example of how uninformed the US citizenry truly is.
You'd think the fact this is the first time McConnell has even joined negotiations what be fact enough there was never a deal and negotiations were just Trump's staff trying to make him look better on Covid. And it may have worked, but Trump torpedoed the deal when Mnuchin and pelosi were said to be close to a deal and repyvs stsrtdd calling him a rhino .You still think there was a "deal" that could have been accepted...

If you say the most effective thing to do is stimulus checks, you’re clearly placing them above UI, otherwise you wouldn’t call it the “most effective”
Well, he is advocating for stimulus checks on top of UI benefits. He's been very outspoken on CNN about $600/week and doing direct cash payments.

Right but Trump is a Different animal I don’t think McConnell would be able to survive Trump tearing into him just before an election

Cant Biden just get into office and cut through all of this and declare Covid a National Emergency which would release funds??
Maybe im giving a President too much power...

That would be working under the assumption that Mitch is afraid of Trump but Mitch is not because he knows that Trump needs him more than the other way around. He'll still be there after January 20th, maybe as majority leader, maybe not but other than some mean tweets - Trump has no sway over McConnell.

im not sure what you're having a harder time with; criticizing the democrats, or admitting that i might have been right about something
