Vulnerable Democrats tell Pelosi COVID-19 compromise 'essential'
The Hill ^ | 09 24 2020 | Scott Wong

A group of vulnerable House Democrats on Thursday began circulating a new letter calling on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to hold a vote on a bipartisan coronavirus relief package before Election Day.

The moderates, led Problem Solvers Caucus Co-Chair Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and freshman Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) and Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), said they did not support a GOP resolution to force a vote on emergency aid for small businesses — a tactic that had gained some momentum in recent days from centrist Democrats anxious about heading home without money for constituents struggling with the pandemic.

“We write to urge you to continue bipartisan negotiations with our Republican colleagues and the Administration, so that we may deliver meaningful relief for the American people,” the letter to Pelosi and Hoyer says, according to a copy provided to The Hill. “Currently, a discharge petition is the only potential option for COVID-19 related action on the House Floor; we do not believe that is the best path forward."

“However, it is essential that we send the Senate a compromise bill before the election that is reasonable and that can be signed into law by the President of the United States.”

“Stand Firm Crazy Nancy, show the freshmen how to go down with the ship”

Agree! Dems have been ripping the mask off, just keep going. Dems have shown us they hate America and most Americans. If you don’t have serious victimhood status, you just don’t matter.

Go with it Nan, it’s a winning message.

Worse: President Trump is about to announce the approval of a safe and effective vaccine, thus delivering the nation from the virus that Democrats have hyped up as an existential threat to humanity. So he’s the hero on that.

Add to that, he’s been talking up a package to cut big fat checks to everybody, and even the media can’t help but report the fact that it’s the Democratic leadership blocking those big fat checks from getting to people. So now the rank and file are in full panic mode because President Trump has completely flipped the script on them and the campaign ads just write themselves.

They way they were lining up the scandals, they had a plan and a schedule. Negative riot polls and RBG’s croaking (necessitating more riots), has blown their timetable to heck.

It sure is begining to look like all the chaos they’ve been creating has started coming back in their own faces...but there’s still 40 days left and they have just begun shooting those arrows out of Nancy’s “quiver’.

Wasn’t it Bill Maher that said it would be worth economic ruin to get rid of Trump? Well, Democrats, your congressmen don’t care if you’re broke and suffering. Its for The Cause.

Say, what? There are no vulnerable Democrats. Just ask CNN and NBC.

Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) is not a moderate. She votes with Nancy 92 to 94% of the time and with AOC 87% of the time. She is a liberal...

I'm repeating this again. The election is nothing more for the Democrats than #SaveTheHouse. Nothing. Once Trump flips MN on Election Night and keeps the rest of his #2016 states, Trump is deep past 320EV at that point and Biden concedes after PA is called as outside the margin of recovery for Biden.

Every bit of this is a feint designed to draw President Trump into something they can hit him with in his 2nd Term -- and posturing for 2024.

After consulting with its Big Daddy in hell, the vile, demonic Botoxian will not allow a compromise of any kind.

This election is going to be stolen. Not at the ballot box but at the mailbox.

Democratic “moderates” are Democrats who want to steal our stuff before they kill us.

Ha ha ha. The best part? Americans will get the help we need and the Republicans will still take back the House anyway.
