What will the Democrats do on the continuing resolution?

That’s what liberals want but she can’t win the state.

 

Dems will support the CR. If they don't, Trump will have the authority to cut everything due to lack of funding, a conservatives dream scenario. Both options suck if your a Dem. Best to let them CR and drag out the fight. His approval ratings are dropping fast, no need to take the spotlight off his dumbassary.

 

I can see your point.

 

She wouldn't win in NY? Don't be delusional

 

Yep.

If they force a shutdown they’ll catch the blame because Republicans can say it passed the House, the President is ready to sign it, and we have the votes to pass it in the Senate but can’t get it to the floor because we can’t find enough Democrats to count on one hand willing to keep the government open. And, as a few people have warned Dems, being put in charge of a mandated government furlough is literally Elon’s wet dream. So it’s a lose lose - they’ll get blamed for it, and it would actually make some of the things the administration is trying to do that their constituents hate easier.

 

For years democrats wailed about Rs shutting down the government because they didn’t get what they want. I guess those same Ds don’t think that works both ways.

Shumer took the high road/ saner path and went with the CR.

 

Schumer votes to keep government open | Fox News

Chuck Schumer will vote to keep government open: 'For Donald Trump, a shutdown would be a gift'

"I believe it is my job to make the best choice for the country to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down," Schumer said while speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday.

The Democratic leader rattled off a list of reasons he disagrees with the House-passed stopgap spending bill, but added, "I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

 

"Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down,"
Did he switch sides or something?

 

10 Dems did right for the country and assisted with averting a shutdown. Schumer is right IMO. This kicks that can down the road a bit. Next fight will be telling if Pubs want to work on a bipartisan basis. Wishful thinking, but hope for the best.

 

the dems lack the balls or the cohesion to do much of anything

new yawkahs will vote for the pos aoc
