The republicans need to start demanding an up or down vote. If the deemoncrats are allowed string this mess out until after the elections, they will be able to vote without the pressure of the fear of losing their congressional seats. We must have this vote while we can still apply election that pressure to them.
They will drag this out as long as they have to in order to wear down the opposition and finally get to the point where they won’t have to worry about the elections any more. If it causes delays in other legislation they won’t care. When the democrats had power before they didn’t do anything then either.
“If the deemoncrats are allowed string this mess out until after the elections”
I think the idea is to make sure the Dems will NOT be there after the elections.
