ROOKE: Democrats Seem To Be Setting Themselves Up For More Chaos And Division
President Donald Trump and the Republicans may have a short -term victory by adopting their only major bill. In just ten weeks, the Republicans will face another financing battle to avoid a government closure. But fortunately, for them, the Democrats are always undecided on how to react.
There are open discussions on the limited options of Democrats during the fight against the Republicans, politico reported on Monday. Rather than offering a plan to find a lever effect to get what they want, the Democrats, like the Hawaii senator, Brian Shatz, blame the Republicans for having followed the example of Trump and complaining that the Republicans do not want to include Democrats in the budgetary decision -making process.
“They just launch things against the wall because they lose this fight,” Texas Republican representative told Politico.
Democrats do not seem to understand why they were defeated in November or how to resume the confidence of voters in the new Trump era. While the Democrats are “furious at the Trump administration and their republican counterparts for having undervalued government financing negotiations”, there is no “unified strategy” in place for the next major financing bill, which should be voted before the government closed on October 1, according to Politico.
This week, we heard democrats shouting:
– Stop the city
– We are at war
– Fight in the streetsTheir party is completely broken. They have no vision and no leader.
All they have is relentless opposition to President Trump. pic.twitter.com/i3cvvxs4y8

“To be frank, I do not think there is a tactic or an approach that will solve this problem with any individual democrat,” said Shattz at the point of sale. “Republicans must decide whether they want to be completely lobotomized or not.”
The chief of the minority of the Democratic Senate, Chuck Schumer, tried to work with the Republicans on a major bill of Trump, but received a significant decline in his colleagues member of the party.
“He caused a lot of damage to the party,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the indivisible liberal group, who has planned an emergency call with his New York section and other local leaders to “consider seriously if the current [Democratic] Leadership is equipped to manage the moment in which we are, “Politico reported.
This places any democrat who seeks to line up on the side of the Republicans in a terrible position. If they cross the aisle, they risk the treatment of Schumer, but if they do not do so, they are blamed to have closed the federal government and all that that implies.
Of course, the Republicans have some latecomers who seem to sympathize with the position of the Democratic Party against the reduction of abortion financing and Dei’s hiring practices for the federal government. (Register for Mary Rooke’s weekly newsletter here!))
The Republican senses Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski were the two votes against the Cancellation package of $ 9 billion in Trump, which ended the financing of some of the favorite projects of the Establishment, notably Aid Foreign, PBS and NPR. As president of the Credit Committee, Collins told her colleagues member that the fight against Trump and his head of the White House budget, Russ Vought, “continue to work in a bipartite manner”.
A faction of the Democratic Party aims to persuade more Republicans to join them during these budgetary negotiations. The other seems to think that the only way to stop the “Trump train” is to have it derail using their favorite weapon: the law.

The Connecticut representative, Rosa Delauro, the largest democratic creator in the room, seems to find a balance between both sides. She told journalists that Democrats should “make sure there are several others on the other side of the alley that has the stomach and the force and the spine to get up” to Trump and the Republicans. However, she added that her party must increase the number of proceedings against the Trump administration.

Democrats have a major card in their pocket to play before it is finished. With their thin majority in the two chambers of Congress, the Republicans need democratic votes to adopt their budgetary bill and avoid a government closure. However, despite this obvious strategy, the Democrats hesitated to use it against the Republicans.
Democrats are in full chaos. They do not know whether to close the government or keep it open. They fight between them. It all depends on the way it will make them appear, they do not care about the American people. It’s all about politics and power,…

I guess they realize that money is better than no money.
Democrats are becoming more and more a sterilized party without any real message to win, except that “Trump is bad”. But apart from its hardcore base, the other American voters are looking for someone who will answer questions about how to solve the problems that affect them directly, such as illegal economy and immigration.
Democrats have so far been unable to determine the way to victory in the new Trump era, even less to take action to help the Americans, leaving them in a difficult position when they enter what will be a difficult mid-term battle against a more unified republican opponent.
