If the GOP leadership makes it a standalone bill, it is doomed to fail. Just like the defunding of ObamaCare
O will come back and say if you want to defund NPR, then I will defund the Army, Navy, Airforce, etc.
Yep they need to tie all this stuff to ‘must pass’ legislation, otherwise they are doomed to fail and the Republicans can look at the camera and say “....but we tried.”
I am just surprised that so many ‘conservatives’ are taken in by all these cheap theatrics.
You may be right. Bit the NPR sacred cow has finally been gored. The kill strike, a bulls’ horn right up NPR’s kazoo, will be much easier to do next time around.
Frankly, I’m optimistic that—with the next election cycle closing in—there may be enough self-serving dems in the Senate to help conservatives pass the bill there. Onada will veto it, but the defunding NPR train will be well out of the station.
