Re: POTUS 45:47: I Never Said There Was No Collusion!
And that is a lie. You can pretend this is a case of "both sides dont want to negotiate" but it isnt true. Both sides DID negotiate...the deal was set. Even Mitch wasnt against it. Then Paul Ryan and Trump blew it up and the GOP walked away. It had nothing to do with "new Congress, new rules" it had to do with the fact that the head of the Party wanted something no one else wants and said he would shut down the government to get it. He wanted no deals without his Wall...the one Mexico was paying for.
This is nothing new...McCain did the same thing during the financial crisis. When the original deal was finally agreed upon (before McCain went to Washington while "suspending his campaign") everything was agreed upon by both sides. McCain showed up, said he hated the deal and he wanted to fix it and the GOP walked away because as the Presidential Candidate he was the defacto leader of the party. Meanwhile the Democrats voted for the deal they all agreed upon.
You can try and pretend this is a "Congressional" problem but it isnt. This is a full on GOP problem. It didnt start that way, they tried to prevent the shutdown. Then their Monster opened his yap and they followed like lemmings. Stop saying "MOC" (which is just a different form of a false equivalency) and put the blame where it belongs. Have an independent thought for once...
