Because if he got the $6bill, he'd just shut it down again for something else even more evil.

(42,862 posts)Amazing to think about how some wanted to choose someone else to be Speaker. So much hand-wringing about wanting "new blood" or "someone younger" ... basically they wanted change for the sake of change. What a short-sighted mistake that would have been! Especially NOW.

I'm happily surprised by this and hoping they keep it up.

(11,885 posts)And staying strong and resisting his tricks and tactics. Hopefully they can get some republican Senators to switch over or threaten to switch over if Mitch refuses to bring some of the bills up for a vote now. More are wanting to bring these bills up to start opening up government again ,and eventually that's what it will take. Republicans should also not vote for Barr until the government is reopened up. Screw trump , instead of letting him screw us.
