I don't think they can get 20 Republican senators to vote for $2000.

Sanders trying to force the Senate to vote on the $2000 stimulus payments

House passed it, sadly the Senate will likely be a POS.

Seems like Trump has really put the Republican senators in a difficult position. If they refuse to vote, or agree to vote and then vote it down, they're setting themselves against Trump and the American public. If they vote to approve it, they're demonstrating once again that they'd rather kowtow to MAGAworld than their traditional "gubmint spending bad" base.

The base will have to decide what's more important to them, deference to Deals Daddy or perpetually crushing the poor.

interesting strategy tho

theyre campaigning in georgia on the line that they need to control the senate in order to protect georgians. loeffler and purdue both said this morning they support the $2000(likely after being told there would be no vote on it).

so now they can say they supported the money, but never were able to vote on it. the dems will jump on that and say why should you control the senate when you are refusing to help these people and are going against trumps wishes? and that they "supported" it right before it was denied a vote?

its insanity, hopefully georgian voters see through that bullshit and vote blue.

Sanders et al are still blocking a vote on defense spending until the Senate takes a vote on the $2000

Man, Turtle is ruthless.  He's going to combine the $2000 check vote with the sec. 230 repeal and voter fraud commission votes so no one will vote for any of it. 

He found a way to freak over Trump and the democrats at the same time.  Turtle don't care.

Or, he'll get a majority of Senate Republicans. This bill will fail because of Democrats, which of course would then put them in position of being the ones that denied a direct 2,000 payment to people who need it most. That narrative won't catch fire in the mainstream of course, as it stands CNN is already idiotically calling these provisions a "poison pill."

When House Democrats want to attach 3 trillion in spending to a bill in which people would've received a 1200 direct payment, that's all well and good, but these conditions are 'poison pills."

It's the same logic that goes into blaming Trump for waiting on signing a 900 billion dollar package when he had a 1.8 trillion dollar proposal on the table that went ignored out of purely electoral politics for months.

I still don't understand why Trump wants to repeal 230. The first thing that will happen is that he'll get removed from every major platform.

He'd rather freak over everyone than having any one have an advantage over him.
