Pelosi & Schumer gridlocked as Democrat Party grows ‘infuriated’

[Counselor706]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are gridlocked on legislative measures while the Democrat party grows “infuriated.”

On the House side, Pelosi is struggling to whip up the majority of Democrats to vote for the $1.2 trillion “bipartisan” bill. Pelosi promised “moderates” a vote on the bill Monday, but Pelosi broke her promise and pushed the vote to Thursday.

On the Senate side, Schumer is finding it difficult to whip his Democrat majority to pass the reconciliation package upon or if the House sends it to the Senate. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) are opposed to some of the radical provisions in the package, along with the $3.5 trillion price tag. In a vocal manor, they have threatened to derail Biden’s agenda and Schumer’s legacy.

As a result, the angst among Democrats is palpable, as they are growing “frustrated” and “infuriated” with Biden’s lack of action.

I suppose Westminster-style party discipline is just about impossible in the American system.

Dems spent four year criticizing Repubs. and then wrote checks their asses couldn't cover to win.

.
The infrastructure bill WILL get passed in the house this week, and a slimmed down reconciliation bill WILL be hot on its heels; somewhere in the 2 trillion range I would imagine.

President Biden and Democrats will get and deserve ALL the credit for BOTH pieces of legislation.

What I find particularly astounding is that many democrats, especially in the house, think that it's a good idea to attack Manchin and Sinema on a personal basis. Do they really believe that Alinsky type tactics are going to work on those two?

If they keep it up I wouldn't be surprised to see one, or both, to switch parties and "Whoop's, there goes the Senate."

Not on them, but on their constituents.
