Well, it took Democrats to get the debt limit bill through the rules vote. Think about that... Kevin McCarthy had to lean on Hakeem Jeffries to get the deal to the floor, for a vote.
Nancy Pelocy would have never put a deal in front of her people, like this...
Hokie, this has nothing to do with the so-called wrong people running; rather, it's all about the people will have! Republicans are week!!
This absolutely has everything to do with the type people that ran in 2022, particularly the Senate. Imagine how much more power the Republicans would have had negotiating with Biden with the House and Senate under their control?
Oh wait, they probably would have reverted to 2016-2018 when they decided against limiting spending.
I still don't get how you are more angry about this than the Republicans having control of government and doing nothing about spending, and then the two leading candidates saying we don't need to touch entitlements.
It's all theater.
Correct, it is all theater! Only the establishment Republicans are folding! So, as far as I'm concerned, if we had put republicans in office, as you've stated, we probably would have had the same results…
When one has a single thread of leverage, you use it. Nothing gets done until others bring you along. I'm sorry Hokie, a strong person would have known how to use their leverage properly. If you have leverage, you have it…
I'll never forget my father, saying to me…. Once you realize you have leverage, then, that's when you have it…. In other words, it's a mind situation.
You can bring up all these non-important positions; however, the truth is… Republicans folded like a cheap suit. Consider this, more Democrats voted for this bill than Republicans…. Why? Easy answer… McCarthy, and his cohorts, made it easy for them to vote for it.
