Were I Chuck Schumer - which I am not - I would put the price of cooperation as the turtle's head

Remember, as soon as Obama took office, the turtle declared that his sole goal was to make Obama a one-term president. No governing, no legislation, no tending to the great recession when we were losing 100,000 jobs a month, no attention to the crumbling bridges and roads... this was the beginning of the do-nothing congress, of the party of NO.

Oh, yes, he has his feather in his hat of keeping the supreme court right wing. But he botched the cherished "repeal the ACA."

They had seven years to prepare a plan, which was mostly repeal; was changed to repeal and replace only in the last year. They should have been ready to hit the ground running. Instead he gave McCain an opportunity to tell Whiny Donny F**k you! Let's see how long you cold last in a torture chamber in Vietnam!

Won't surprise me if, privately, the White House is blaming the turtle for the loss of the vote.

For all the reasons you stated.

That private White House complaint will probably go public very soon.
