    Are people actually shocked that a Democrat is doing what Democrats always do, they feign resistance, but in the end, give Republicans everything they ask for.

      I think your blanket statement applies to certain people of a certain moral fortitude and not “Democrats”. Schumer and Pelosi made a life of this kind of bullshit but it doesn’t work anymore. That doesn’t mean other similarly aligned reps will toe that line.

        It hasn’t worked for decades and they kept doing it anyway.

        Just the ones who don’t want heavily funded primary challengers.
