I'm back to wondering if Joe and Chuck...

..have the "plan". They may end up with some kind of infrastructure agreement but now the debt ceiling issue appears to be at an impasse. Joe keeps playing softball and Chuck keeps telling the Republicans to get out of the way, neither of which accomplishes anything. Mitch does not respond to reason or logic.

He got rewarded back then. People seemed to have blamed democrats more than republicans back then. Trump woke a lot of people (like me for instance) up and saw the real BS from republicans. We will have to see if people respond differently this time. But there is no evidence that Mitch will react differently this time around.

Unfortunately, there are some polls showing American blaming democrats more this time around again. sigh...
