A Hypothetical:
Would it be wise for Democrats to agree to pass the GOP Budget with the promise of "negotiating" healthcare issue afterwards?
Before you spit your coffee out or laugh out loud; I fully realize Republicans never compromise about anything.
The chess moves would be to :
A. Force Mike Johnson to swear in the Adelita Grijalva, thus force the discharge petition. If he still refuses, then the Epstein cover up is beyond the pale and even MAGA will see the cover-up more clearly.
B. Have a key issue for the 2026 Mid-terms in that the Republicans will never negotiate on and healthcare, causing real pain and showing, yet again, they are bold faced liars.
Thoughts?
