Will be interesting to see if Mitch allows even a sliver of cooperation with Democrats.
My bet is no, Mitch will not allow even a sliver of cooperation with Democrats.
Because he is a bad American and only wants to help Republicans.
WASHINGTON—A senior Republican senator said he and his colleagues could support an infrastructure bill of around $800 billion, underscoring GOP interest in a bipartisan fix for the nation’s aging roads and patchy broadband service.
The comments by Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas) on Sunday signal that Senate Republicans are seeking a compromise on infrastructure, ahead of President Biden’s meeting with lawmakers on Monday to push his own $2.3 trillion plan.
Republicans generally have raised concerns that Mr. Biden’s package is too costly and has too many what they see as non-infrastructure elements.
Asked on Fox News Sunday whether he could support an infrastructure package of around $800 billion, Mr. Cornyn said: “There is a core infrastructure bill that we could pass…So let’s do it and leave the rest for another day and another fight.”
Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.), also on Fox News Sunday, said that Democrats should work to find a bipartisan agreement with Republicans on elements of the White House infrastructure plan before pivoting to a second, broader package that Democrats pass along party lines.
“Then we show our people that we can solve their problems” on a bipartisan basis, Mr. Coons said. “I think in the next few weeks we should roll up our sleeves and sit down and find ways that we can support to make these critically needed investments.”
https://www.wsj.com/articles/top-republican-says-senate-gop-could-be-open-to-smaller-infrastructure-bill-11618772453?mod=hp_lead_pos4Correct, there will be no cooperation. The base is primed only to believe that all things lib are evil and therefore bipartisanship is one of the worst things for Rs. They will not budge.
Bipartisanship???
Hillary's healthcare was negotiated behind closed doors with NO input from Republicans.
Obamacare? NO input from ANY republicans.
Stimulus 1 - NO input from ANY republicans.
Stimulus 2 - NO input from ANY republicans.
You Liberals will talk about Bipartisanship but never walk the walk.
Joe Biden campaigned on unifying the country and bipartisanship but we conservatives knew he was just lying. None of his radical leftist programs would pass Congress so right away he bypassed Congress and issued more than 50 unilateral executive orders. Where is the unifying and bipartisanship that he promised the country??? please show me examples of bipartisanship by Biden or Congressional Dems.
