The pretty obvious game here is to force Biden to do this as a D-only reconciliation bill and then claim for the rest of his presidency that you were *totally* ready to work with him until he set the tone by using legislative dirty tricks to "ram through" a party-line billhttps://twitter.com/BrendanBuck/status/1355897613543997445 …

If it's not clear when this playbook was written (and it probably is), conservatives are still claiming this with all appearance of sincerity about Obamacare

The tricky bit is that while Obamacare was somewhat unpopular when it was passed, COVID-relief - the bigger the better - is massively popular right now. So I don't know if this trick will play the way they expect a second time. Fairly easy to call their bluff.

Obamacare, at the time of its passage, tended to poll around 45/55 against, with substantially more 'strongly disfavor' than 'strongly favor.' COVID relief has been polling around 70/30 or 60/40 for, with the energy on the 'yes' side.

I don't think the Rs feel they need very much cover at all to do a complete stonewall though

Oh sure. But I think the outcome may be different. Stonewall on a 45/55 issue in your favor and you can run on it for 8 years. Stonewall on a 70/30 issue against you and when the Ds just do reconciliation, there may be a price to pay for voting 'no'
