McConnell should simply have the Senate pass an unemployment extension as a stand-alone bill — with nothing else in it. Let Pelosi explain why the Democrats would oppose it. That’s probably the best GOP campaign strategy at this point.

I want another check like we received a few months ago to compensate me for my losses.

McConnell wouldn't have had the votes for even that. He's pretty much washed his hands of this and will pass whatever Trump and Pelosi come up with.

Which is why the title of the article doesn't make sense. The Trump choice will will be whether he merely signs the $2 to $3 trillion bill Mnuchin and Pelosi agree on or whether he adds a FICA tax suspension onto the deficit as well. Either way this administration will make make past administrations running up of the deficit look like child's play by comparison.

Or, the president should summon up his emergency powers and extend unemployment benefits including the $600 extra by executive order.

No democrat would dare challenge that action in court
