    It's coming out now that Nancy has a 1000-page Nancybucks/Green Flu Deal mountain of leftist pork bill all ready to go.

    So, for the last two weeks, while the Dems were supposedly bargaining in good faith, and in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation, in order to bring relief to the American public, Nancy was "on break" busily compiling her big list of progressive goodie "riders" that do NOTHING for the American public. Yesterday and today, she dropped the act, and revealed the bait and switch scam.

    Reprehensible.

    Utterly reprehensible.

    The American people want trump gone. trump will be the third republican president in a row to enter with a stable economy and exit with one in recession. The third. In a row.

    Their policies fail time after time but they double down. We should treat them as enemies of the state.

    How did the polices fail? This was caused by the China Virus.

    the majority of Americans approve of trumps handling of the Chinese virus, and more over there will be massive backlash at the dems for blocking relief package to the working class.

    They’ll never leave the clown world where it’s Trump’s fault.

    Their political priorities are certainly more important to them than the welfare of US citizens.

    A poll of 502 adults that isn’t even within the MOE is not representative of the average American. Look at his approval polls which are an aggregate of dozens of others with a very low sampling bias — his numbers have barely budged and he is far below majority approval.

    His policies failed because they didn’t address any of the underlying issues like debt and fed injections, corporate debt levels, or being someone the populace can look towards to get us through this — we are 7% off of the largest drop in stock value since it’s existence — that is poor leadership and zero confidence. Other nations are not being hit this hard.

    I await the “massive backlash”, but I disagree where it is going to be placed.

    Yep. You got me
    trump has never acted like a victim or complained that Republicans are not protecting him, or whined “I am all alone (poor me)” or said he is the most attached president in history even though we have had one literally shot in the face.
    Totally not a snowflake

    Not much.

    Democrats are at the receiving end criticism during a time when Americans are facing the growing threat of COVID-19.

    Last night, lawmakers were scheduled to vote on the CARES Act, which would provide substantial help to Americans that are out of work as the threat of COVID-19 looms over the United States and the globe. In what many are criticizing as a disappointing move, Democrats halted the passing of the bill because of unmet demands, including solar and wind tax credits and new fuel emission standards.

    As a result, Republican lawmakers are taking Democrats to task, calling the move failed leadership.

    A Republican aide commented on the vote, saying that “as Leader Schumer continues to hold up the desperately-needed relief package, the last-minute list of demands from Pelosi’s and Schumer’s ideological wish list are coming into focus.”

    Senator Tom Cotton (R) also slammed Democratic leadership, noting that “Pelosi & Schumer are willing to risk your life, your job, your retirement savings for a radical, left-wing wish list that has nothing to do with this virus.”

    Polls are conducted on specific issues, like this, the majority favor his handling.

    He attempted to lower debt, but frankly, I don’t know if any dem policies that addressed it. As highlighted the polls show the nation approves of his handling.

    you won’t have to wait long

    So Trump is responsible for a Virus from China? That's ludicrous.

    The majority of 502 people approve of his handling, in a single poll.

    8 months. Can’t come quick enough.

    All jokes aside, I think people like Pelosi & Schumer are stupid enough to think they're hurting Trump.

    Nope, trump is responsible for firing our coordinator from there that was placed to intercept these events, he is responsible for disbanding our CDC response team, he is responsible for not taking this seriously, he is responsible for touting unproven drugs, he is responsible for proposing up our economy prior to this so it appears to the average idiot that we have a strong economy and leaving us largely defenseless to combat this through fed intervention.

    So now you finally see why a poll isn't representative of the whole people?

    Yes..did you just realize how a poll is conducted? They take sample sizes.

    the dems are hearing the backlash now. Not pretty

    I don’t really enjoy watching it. I had hoped they’d do the right thing here for small businesses and the working class.
