When your opponents make a mistake like this, make them pay for it. I just hope the Repubs know how to capitalize on it....
I hope I'm wrong on republican abilities in that respect. I hope that the past few decades of watching them squander every opportunity to govern is not indicative of what we can expect today. It would be glorious for either party to turn into a group that believes in the rule of law and putting the Constitution as written and the interests of American people first. That would also be a major surprise.
Oh, the Democrats will not openly vote FOR the “Green New Deal”, they will just vote “Present” and claim that the program is only in the planning stages, there is “nothing” to base a vote of affirmation on.
But on a recorded vote, the vote of “Present” may be taken to mean “Yes”.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
Yes, it is a brilliant political move by The Turtle to hoist the Dems on their own green petard.
And also a bit of “Squirrel!” to distract us from another hideous spending bill.
