Jayapal: It's worth passing spending plan even if Dems lose House
The Hill ^ | 11/05/2021 | ARIS FOLLEY

Posted on 11/05/2021 7:38:12 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Congressional Progressive Caucus Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said on Friday that it’s worth Democrats passing the party’s sweeping social spending and climate change package even if they lose the House in next year’s midterm elections.

Jayapal was asked early Friday ahead of an expected vote on the legislation if it's worth the party passing the legislation if it could help the GOP take back the House next year, just as Republicans did in 2010 following passage of the Affordable Care Act.

Wow! You nailed it! Predator.

Also, have you noticed the tide of weirdly named Democrats? I first noticed it with “Obama.” But since then it’s as if Democrats were selecting candidates whose names sounded the least like regular Americans. Is this something that’s happening on purpose?

Someone said, “Think of any three American presidents. Roosevelt, Adams, Jefferson...then say ‘Obama.’ See the problem?”

What makes it so stupid is that passing that bill in the House -- and exposing Dems from swing districts to getting crushed in the campaign -- wouldn't accomplish anything if the bill doesn't make it through the Senate. So she's asking for kamikaze attacks that are doomed to faul.

So...you're right. Kamikaze Democrats. Although I think that might be deliberate on the part of radical leftists as a strategy to get rid of more moderate Dems, and replace them with other radical leftists. The Bolsheviks taking out the Mensheviks.

They are losing the House no matter what. So they have to pay their cronies before they lose power.

Manchin and Sinema will cave. They are just trying to get the most out of it as they can.

Translation: we have to pass this “spending bill” because it contains the commie takeover of the U.S.A.

Odds are they are going to lose the House regardless so might as well pass what they can when they can.

They tried. McAwful received the highest vote ever for a Dem Gov candidate, more than 200,000 more than Northam. As was the case in 2016, the Dems underestimated the Rep turnout.

Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and still lost, the first incumbent President to ever lose who received more votes than the first time. Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary, a 23% increase. Prior to that, Hillary received the 2nd highest vote total in US history, only topped by Obama’s 69 million in 2008.

Biden received 81 million votes despite winning only 509 counties, while Trump won 2,547 counties. Biden won 16.7% of counties with finalized results. That represents a record-low proportion for a winning presidential candidate. Obama set the previous record in 2012 – with 689 counties, equal to 22%. Before that, he also set a record in 2008 with just 28% of counties. Biden stole the election.

year, just as Republicans did in 2010 following passage of the Affordable Care Act.

…….XXXXXXXXXXX…….

This is wrong

Republicans won the House, then the lame duck Democrats Congress passed Obama care in the middle of the night just before Christmas. Score they had slot Eva hats the premises.

It is what liberals usually do. It is similar to what all loses do. Finally get a judge to evict a dead beat loser renter, and before the sherif shows up to toss them out in the street the bums destroy the house.

Even when you toss the bums out they do all they can to screw you in a last gasp attempt to get back at you fir tossing them out.

Like when the Clintons and their hippies left after GW won, they took the furniture. D destroyed equipment because Thelma derogate, Al Gore, lost the election

Unless you hack the voting machines. Antrim County, MI is an example. Parnell’s loss to Conner Lamb in PA is an example of how Congressional races can be stolen.

They are counting on the Senate modifying the bill and then hashing out the differences in conference committee between the House and Senate versions. The Dems will insure that some form of the bill will survive and pass so they save face. All that is happening now is setting the price.

They say House critters have six months to get anything done after being sworn in, before the next campaign maneuvers begin.

We now are into the next election cycle, and the dems stink to high heaven.

What’s done can be undone if the will is there.
