The Demrats want only their name on what could be a kind of 'historical legislation'. . .(and most importantly, they want the money 'their way') and that means they wait. . .gamble on a Demrat winning next round for President or. . .they buck up. . .support it - or at least pretend to; and hope for a train wreck. . .or just take the ride. . . 'make it possible' vs being nasty, selfish. . .shortsighted, greedy. . .evil. . .manipulative 'obstructionists'.
