[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The notion Republicans are entitled to Democrat votes to break 60 without negotiating with them is bizarre. If you say take it or leave it, you have to be prepared for leave it.

This is all on the GOP and the public knows it.[/quote]

No one claims republicans are entitled to 60 votes. You don't understand what negotiation means.   Trump has no reason to make any concessions to Schumer as Schumer has no actual ability to pass anything.  Schumer is on his own with this.[/quote]

Your statement undermines your argument. Try again.

Or let me help. Legislation requires 60 votes. The GOP has 51. As a result, the GOP needs to figure out how to get to 60. And as it is, 5 GOP defected, so really, the GOP needs to figure out how to get 15 more votes than what it had on Friday. Getting those votes means offering something as a compromise to democrat Senators to induce them to vote for your bill. They are not entitled to those 15 votes, they have to do a little work to earn them. That work is called negotiation. Negotiation means making concessions. Understand?[/quote]
