‘A betrayal’: Inside the bitter rift between Pelosi and Schumer over border bill
Washington Post (Democracy Dies In Darkness) via MSN ^ | 6/28/19 | Mike DeBonis, Rachael Bade

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her colleagues in a private meeting Thursday that she thought she had a deal this week with her longtime ally, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer: She would ensure passage of a more liberal border funding bill in the House, and he would back her up by persuading Democratic senators to fight for it.

Instead, Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, she was blindsided. Nearly all Senate Democrats voted for a Republican-backed bill that kneecapped the House and marked the most embarrassing defeat for Pelosi in the six months since Democrats took over the chamber.

“Schumer destroyed all our leverage on Wednesday by not being able to hold his people,” said a senior House Democratic aide.

Schumer (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, believed Pelosi failed to deliver on a deal of her own. After House moderates revolted Thursday, Democrats had to discard a plan to send the bill back to the Senate before an end-of-month deadline.

“They’re blaming everyone but themselves,” said a senior Senate Democratic aide.

Wow. Don't see that everyday.

Not to worry, the media will still claim that Pelosi is a genius.

I guess the Dems have been getting a tidal wave of push-back from the rank-and-file over open borders and turning over the entire country to Central American gangs.

“Bitter”... LOL!
This was what both their donors wanted. As usual the media is playing up the sizzle, not the steak.

Schmucky is angling for a bigger amnesty deal with his friends, the Bush League Republicans.
He gives them their way on paying for resettlement of this batch and gets amnesty for all of them down the road.

This is a perfect example of how pathetically hopeless things are. Republicans now consider it a big win when they’re able to provide billions of dollars in additional funding to accommodate and incentivize an invading army without doing a single thing to secure the border.

We MUST elect better Republicans.

The ones we have want to meet the Democrats half way on destroying the country.
