Saving their suppliers doesn't count for anything.
Even if it doesn't, he isn't asking for help to do that stuff, he is asking for help to get policies in place.
He doesn't have to run again, so withholding help to get things done that you agree on doesn't seem like a smart choice to me.
It took 40 years or more to bring us to this point. The Republicans never deviated from their agenda and seldom stepped back. If we deteriorate to placing blame on our own side, we will get no more small steps back, the Republicans will begin moving forward again.
