'oh, we won't let the government shut down and cause more uncertainty in the markets and the economy. it's the best thing to do for the american people.'
and yet...nowhere in any Republican playbook is maintaining or even giving a damn about the moral highground a priority.
NOT agreeing to this bill is the only way Democrats have to protest what is going on with Trump and the Republican Congress laying down whilst he walks all over them. They are missing an opportunity to 'save' people from the medicaid cuts, but that doesn't seem to matter, either!
are they just letting the voters feel the full weight of their decisions? I don't know. it's so depressing.
