The Dems have another nuclear option.

I think they should negotiate from the point of, it only takes a vote through reconciliation to remove the two words "over 65" from the Medicare law to enact a socialized universal healthcare system, and the GOP can not stop them.

Republicans know after 4yrs they are not going to be able to take a benefit like that away from the public once everyone is enrolled. It would be political suicide.

Schumer should look McConnell in the eye and say, is that what you want Mitch ?

Why don't you take some time and ask your benefactors in the insurance industry how they feel about it ?

Schumer is too weak!! Perez was a wet mop. Schumer isn't much better. The Democratic Party has a blank check to be the Party in control for the next decade... if they only will take advantage of it. Schumer, Nadler, Leahy... too content and no desire to get confrontational. Get Warren or Klobucher or someone with the "walk softly and carry a big stick" attitude.

Tell that to your fellow anthropomorphic climate change deniers.

I am hoping the last 4 yrs, even the last 2 months have taught them a lesson that this is a power struggle from here on out, and the only way to maintain power or keep it from their opponents is to exercise it to its fullest extent.

The Democratic Party's social role is to be "weak" when it is "in power." To keep the money from the billionaires flowing to win the next election, they must avoid upsetting the flow of income to the capitalists. The "Blue Dog" Democrats, by design, hold the balance of power ... either by voting with the Republicans to form a working majority, or by threatening to defect to the Republicans unless the party leadership gives them veto power over legislation, they call the shots on all the important votes the party takes.
