I realize this is a slightly counter-intuitive notion, but should Senator Schumer and Representative Pelosi seriously consider not appointing anyone to the upcoming Conference Committee?
Its going to be a horror show from the start, resulting in the kind of manure sandwich that would poison a million cockroaches to death. The fact said sandwich will then be force-fed to the wider economy should go down in history as the single greatest act of ideological violence against the American people since Herbert Hoover’s only term in office.
Should the Democratic caucus be actual participants to such an act? Even if removing themselves from the process closes the possibility they might squeeze something positive into the final product? Perhaps even make the final product so distasteful to the maniacs amongst the GOP that its failure is all but guaranteed?
In short, should the Democratic leadership declare this is solely and entirely the Republican’s show, and leave it there?
The floor is open.
