You really think that they would be able to pull off spinning it? Last week polls across the board showed the parties getting closer and closer to each other. Initially it was I want to say 56% blamed Republicans and 30% blamed Democrats with 24 undecided/unsure.

On average what I saw with the repolls was Republicans down to 51-52% while Democrats had surged up to 36-38% which happened during a rough week PR wise for the Republicans. I am just not sure that with continued momentum and even Senators like Fetterman coming out and bashing his party that they can keep control of the narrative.

I mean even Steven A Smith has started to push Dems on what is there whole plan because you cant do an all or nothing approach that doesnt work. I mean he walked off the Kennedy Center stage last night before later rejoining the panel. By stalling like the Democrats are doing they are blowing off their own foot when it comes to them currently clamoring for stuff to be done in regular order since they are preventing it.

They also failed to authorize the formal negotiations with the House for 3 spending bills they have already passed. I mean I might be bias since I work for the House but the Senate right now is so screwed up on the left that even when Thune came out today before the vote and said okay we pass this one procedural vote then we can vote on Obamacare tax credit extensions the next day we are in session (Monday because Dem Senators wanted to be at their No Kings Rallies tomorrow/Saturday) and the left went nope.

Even CNN was running it and talking about it going uhhh what is going on here
