It was easy for all the rebuplquans to vote against the covid19 relief

because they knew that it would pass without them.

So, their votes against it worked in their favor.

The Bill passed, their constituents will get relief and their “base” will love them all the more.

As things get better, they will then take credit for all the good stuff,

For them, it’s a win-win.

I watched this same crap when the ARRA passed under Obama.

Sigh

to our message machine to make sure voters know the score. The Q base won’t be swayed but we can chip at the margins.

for their states, other than vaccine money. A no vote reduces aid? it is what they would do. Play like they did and do.
