Congrssional Lawmakers ‘used’ to be able to make their own deals…..
Not with Trump and company looking over their shoulders with a political hammer…
But?
Mindful of their OWN jobs?
And reading the polling numbers FOR Support FOR Democrats vs Trump on the shutdown and healthcare benefits?
Republicans gonna HAVE TO walk back some the Trump threats (Laying off and cutting 300,000 Federal jobs???) and support Obamacare …
It may take awhile though….
Speaker Mike Johnson said that he spoke to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) over the weekend and assured her the House would pass spending bills if the federal government reopens, Punchbowl News reports.
Said Johnson: “I told her it is my full intention that if we break this impasse and we put these bills together — we have three of them in conference committee right now — whatever the conference committee comes up with, I will put on the floor. I’m ready to go. But we got to open government up so that they can move to that next level, so the conference committee can get that work done.”
“While Johnson said the call was ‘not some sort of confidential thing,’ the conversation is incredibly interesting. There have been absolutely no talks between Republicans and Democrats in recent days.”
