But none of this will matter much if the coronavirus situation drags for many months. Trump will take the fall for that.
I think you two may be missing the point. Pelosi and the house bill is Off the table. The only other thing out there is that 6T proposal from Kudlow/Trump that was talked about to muddle the real story. The reality is this. The only bill that is up for debate is the original GOP bill with an independent committee as to who gets the 500B of loans. The only
Other thing the democrats want is mail in votes.
They are going to repeat that over and over again starting tomorrow morning. “We are ready to pass the GOP senate bill..... all we want is the guarantee everyone gets to vote by accepting mail in ballots in every state....... why do you hate democracy GOP and why are YOU holding up the bill”
It’s going to be said over and over again and they won’t be able to turn the table on this.
It’s bold cotton, let’s see how it works out for them.
