The GOP figures that they can be as bad as diseased excrement, but as long as they are better than the Demonicrats, patriotic voters will have to vote for them.
It isn’t just the GOP caving. Trump wants the $600 per week extended, too. Many employers can’t get their front line, lower level workers to come back to work because they can make more with no risk by staying home. Next will be the demand for foreign workers because they can’t fill their jobs.
It is all a matter of perspective. I quit voting “FOR” Republicans long ago. I do vote against every Democrat on the Ticket.
