They know if a clean bill was introduced in the Senate for the 2K amount it would pass, so they planned this adding of 2 poison pills he and trump mow demand, which they know there is no chance of passing. Why would any Democrats vote for this when in a few weeks they can pass a clean bill. By trump and McConnell doing this they are destroying what very small change they may have had winning in GA next week. They could care less about the American people suffering from their complete failure with the Covid-19 response. trump and McConnell are losing their power to stop covid relief, and the good people of GA who already turned against trump , will soon oust McConnell next. This is McConnell's last stand, and he like trump is losing, and being rejected.

(11,885 posts)trump and Mitch know this, but are desperately trying tp get these two things because of trump, and Mitch, but are making it worse for themselves, and other republicans now. Any Democrat supporting this Mitch bill should be targeted next election for removal. trump and Mitch are in a corner now, and they will cave in and pass a clean bill, or in Jan. the new Congress will. Just another stall tactic from trump and Mitch.
