[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the strong suit for Republicans is to say that Democrats are willing to hold to ransom the interests of 300 million Americans to legalize 800K DACA recipients who came to this country illegally and whose future is no in jeopardy for now, given that the federal courts have stayed any action with regard to them.

I also feel that this should be the pretext for changing the senate rules to eliminate the filibuster for legislation.[/quote]

So undo 230 years of rules because you can't compromise. It wasn't right when Harry Reid did it; it wasn't right when McConnell did it for Trump nominees and it isn't right now.

Our country is forged on compromise. Suspending rules may not even get the 51 votes needed. Right now, there are barely 48. Do you suggest imposing a "40 rule" vote to get your way instead?[/quote]

Compromise is something that has gone out the window. [b]Both sides are to blame for it [/b]and we need to recognize this reality. For the federal government to shut down is ludicrous and the sort of gamesmanship we have seen on the debt ceiling is within the same category.[/quote]
Recognize this reality: the Republicans have been poisoning the well for forty years. The lack of compromise and level of vitriol is all Republican.[/quote]
