Jeffries Won't Whip Vote Against ICE Funding

154. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

And time will tell. It just seems the Dems often worry too much about how the GOP will "frame" what they do, and the GOP always wins the messaging war regardless. If the Dems vote for the funding, the GOP will claim it's proof they agree with what ICE is doing. If the Dems vote against the funding bill, the GOP will try to use 'defund the police'.

If enough Dems plan to vote with the GOP to approve the funding, then come up with some talking points ahead of time that explain why and keep hammering those talking points. The GOP does this all the time. Instead, the Dems will rail against something, only to turn around and vote with the GOP. The GOP doesn't have to do anything; the Dems do it to themselves with crappy messaging.
