He could have made the Dems own shutting down the government over border security


He's been playing that hand for weeks and it hasn't moved the needle. Trump proved you don't need congress to shut down the border so it's all on Biden, not Congress.

He has the power of the purse.

No, HE doesn’t. The House does. He doesn’t have the votes to hold it up.

But noooo! He gave away all the leverage.

No. He never had any leverage whatsoever because he does not have the votes to hold anything up. A discharge petition would have been even more of a clown show, and the bill still would pass.

So ALL the attention needs to be on Biden and the Democrats. Make them own it. Don't give them a gift by shutting down the government and allowing them to blame Republicans.

100% correct. I don’t like the bill, but you don’t mess this up by giving the Dims and their media a way to lay blame on everyone but themselves.

And? They and their supporters WANT the bill.

All the while making it plain that the GOP is a clown show. Which the media will oblige in running with.

Besides, it would pass with plenty Republican votes, only making the discharge petition situation even worse for Republicans.

People who think like you, Matt Gaetz, and MTG just cannot stop playing right into the left and medias hand.

A functionally two seat majority in one chamber of congress, without the White House, without any sort of legislative leverage, and with zero unity in your own conference is not the time for a clown show.

I explained it to you in the other thread.

Single issue bills like Johnson promised. Make them all go on the record for supporting LGBTQ retirements homes.
