    1. This gets at why Trump's latest move is such a gift for the Democrats: they can either show Senate GOP is opposed to relief or get the $2000 per person (which would be good).https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/1341564251077398528 …

    We either get $2k stimulus checks or Trump helps make it crystal clear that Senate Republicans are to blame just days before 2 of them are up for re-election in a race that decides control of the Senate. Merry Christmas, Mitch! https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1341557535732604935 …

        2. Beyond that, the current juncture opens up the possibility of wedging Trump away from institutional GOP, which would be good for Dems even after Trump leaves office.

        3. Trump will have a lot followers even after Jan. 20th and it'll be good for Dems if he's mad at GOP and trying to sabotage GOP agenda.

        4. The McConnell/Trump alliance has been a formidable one: McConnell got his tax cuts & judges, Trump got protection from congressional oversight. Now that's at an end: time to accelerate divorce. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-chaos-stimulus-pelosi/ …

        ...we're all expecting the Democrats to still somehow fumble this, right? Not just me?

        Maybe, but anytime the sound strategy is “shut up and get out of Trump's way,” Dems have a significantly better track record. And that's pretty much all they have to do at this point, having already embraced the proposal.

        Hey @KLoeffler @sendavidperdue lots of silence from you about $2K. Perhaps that is because you prefer us have ZERO DOLLARS.

        I'm pretty sure the Dems don't want the 2k or to win the senate so lets see how they go about fcking this up

        The senate GOP are evil, not stupid (mostly). They'll tie passage to Sect. 230, and then point at Pelosi and the House when they object. @HouseDemocrats really need to get out ahead of this NOW, before Turtle and Graham can pull it off.

        You're ignoring that most Dems only want the minimum amount of stimulus needed. If the public finds out giving more people more money is in general good it threatens the economic power structure/the general austerity from which they benefit

        This would be a great point if it weren’t for the fact that it is completely false
