Trump/McCarthy 2024!
“So I want to be able to win these battles.”
Surrender monkey.
Simple solution: advance bills your party agrees to.
Short term budget with short term spending cuts? Lame and worthless.
“You’re making it impossible for the party to win any concessions from Democrats”
That’s the Deep State problem in one sentence.
McCarthy starts from the position that Dems run it all, and he has to beg for “concessions” from THEIR plans.
Flip the switch.
Make THEM come to you begging for concessions from YOUR plan.
It’s the main reason why we didn’t want him to be SOTH in the first place. The misgivings are playing out.
The problem with Kevin is he never wins any concessions.
Do the democrats ever define their obstructionism as losing? Sounds like Mccarthy wants his side to concede out of the gate. Loser.
Kevin, when has the GOP ever been able to win any REAL, QUANTIFIABLE, TANGIBLE concessions from Democrats?
Please name ONE, Just ONE, Any ONE.
Walking into a fight, fighting and then losing is one thing. Walking into a fight and never fighting and then losing is worse.
Weird how he never says that about demoncraps. But then again, he doesn't actually fight them, just rolls over.
Always best to give up without a fight, right McCarthy?
McCarthy doesn’t have the cajones to be speaker.
Exactly. I can’t add anything to your post.
When was the was time Congress actually submitted a budget for approval? Anytime in this century?
That is the real problem, no more spending authorizations and 2000 page Omnibus Spending bills we want an actual budget with no Amendment Riders on it.
“If Republicans hold Republicans back from moving bills it’s like you’re walking into a fight losing...”
What McCarthy fails to “get” (or at least pretends to) is that they are not moving Republican bills, they are moving Democrat bills. They are carrying water for the enemy. That can never be a “win”, even if the enemy lets you catch a few drops that spill from the bucket along the way.
You will never see Democrat leaders behave this way. They will never agree to assist the Republicans in “moving bills” when Republicans are in power. Their entire party will dig their heels in and obstruct for years at a time.
“we want an actual budget”
It’s sad that in my youth Republicans used to be fighting to try to pass a Balanced Budget amendment, and now we would be ecstatic if they would just pass any old budget at all.
LOL!! When was the last time you got a concession from Democrats? All you guys ever do is MAKE concessions to the Democrats. It's called "going along to get along," and you're experts at it.
Standard Bushy GOP-E response we heard for 3 decades now. “We win by surrendering to the Democrats”.
Hey you bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCAN’T...
You lose 100% of everything that you refuse to fight...
Loser
