The Republicans are morons for doing this.
The Democrats have no intention of compromising. They’re just grandstanding.
When they attempt to use the nuclear option this year, they’ll say that they tried everything to get a compromise, but the big bad GOP wouldn’t give in.
Which is complete bs, because if they would cut deals with a few of the RINOs, the Dems would have passed cap and trade, amnesty, and a bunch of other stuff by now.
Main problem is that the progressive wing of the Dem party isn’t content with taking half a loaf. It’s definitely not conservatives that are holding things up— conservatives (as opposed to Republicans) do not have the votes for a filibuster. It is the RINOs and the DINOs that the progressives are having trouble with.
