I keep seeing commentary that the Democrats were negotiating from a position of weakness. I’m sitting here trying to figure out what that weakness was.
The Senate required 60 votes to gain closure. There are not 60 Republican senators. We had the power to gain more than we did; Chuck Schumer decided not to exercise it. If there is anyone who is weak here, it’s Schumer.
We’re at the point now where you’re either playing hardball or you need to go home.
