re: #486 wheat-dogg

Rand and Mitch are not going to comment, lest they provoke the Wrath of Don. The entire GOP is stonewalling, aside from weak protests sent via tweets. The GOP, if it had any ounce of self-respect, could as a unit tell the White House to rescind the policy, or else lose their support for anything he wants to do. No funding for the wall, the Space Force, etc.

But the Republicans won’t do it. It’s the sword they are choosing to fall on.

All 49 Democrats and Independents have signed onto Feinstein’s bill. All it takes is 2 of the Republican Senators who have already announced retirement to sign on to make it passable. Then all Mitch has to do is let it be brought to a vote and the Republicans avoid filibustering it to get it through the Senate. They can then throw up their hands and blame the RINOs for passing it.
