Democrats happily sitting back and watching the GOP turn into a trainwreck: Wall Street Journal reporter

Snip:

“The Democrats are looking at this and saying, ‘This is a train wreck that is happening in front of us and we’re happy to stand back and let it happen.’ It’s Republicans within his own party who disagree with whether or not there should be a stopgap funding bill through to February or not,” Bussey said. “The Democrats are sitting back and saying ‘He’s already said I’m going to take responsibility for a shut down if it happens.’ They’re willing to let that happen. As every day goes by, there are fewer Republicans there to vote because they have gone back to their districts, they’re retiring or maybe they got voted out of office… The Democrats are pointing out, this is not how you negotiate over an issue. There’s many issues that Republicans and Democrats disagree on in the Congress. But you don’t hostage the federal government and closure of the federal government for your particular issue. It’s meant to be negotiated, compromise is meant to be reached.”

1. So it's the Democrats fault. Typical of Fox.

3. Hahaha! Practice what you preach.

"It’s meant to be negotiated, compromise is meant to be reached.”

And AFAIK, rethugs hold the reins until January 2019, and still have the Senate. They can't get out of their own way, especially when they're being so obsequious to dt.

4. At this moment, the frigging Republicans control . . .

the Congress and the WH while trying desperately to stack the courts with their Chosen People. And Bussy has the gall to suggest the work around is the Democratic Party's responsibility? They elected this crazed Russian asset, rode in on his compromised coat tails. If they're so appalled by his actions? Call your people back, get their asses in DC and . . . do something, beyond blaming others for your flawed decisions and continuous obstructionism.

Frigging unbelievable!
