  1. Pelosi dropped their ask by a trillion in late summer, McConnel’s response was to drop his demand from 900 billion to 500 billion, AND THEN COULDN’T GET IT PASSED in the Senate, even though he had a majority. (You can’t blame Senate Democrats for blocking the “skinny bill” if the Senate Republicans are in disarray.) So at this point in the negotiations (just over a month ago) , the Democrats and the Treasury Secretary negotiate a deal of 1.8 trillion. To sum up, the Dems have dropped their ask from 2.9 trillion to 2.2 trillion to 1.8 trillion, and cut out their questionable demands not directly related to COVID relief. McConnell’s response has been to offer even less, the very opposite of compromise and negotiation. Currently, a bipartisan Senate group has negotiated a compromise of 900 billion. Pelosi is amenable. McConnell is dismissing it, but has no workable alternative to show us. To be honest, I don’t think McConnell has enough buy in from his own party, so he’s stalling. And the Democrats are being blamed? In what hyperpartisan bizarro world are the freaking Democrats to blame for obstructing a deal? Let’s be honest here. The Republican Congressional leadership is obstructing Covid relief.
