    Jeet Heer Retweeted Senator Roger Wicker

    People are dunking on this for good reason. Obviously absurd for a Senator to claim credit for bill he opposed. But it's also worth underscoring that way a party wins is to get opponents to agree to its policies. Dems are winning when GOP wants credit for Dem policies.https://twitter.com/SenatorWicker/status/1369770036982915084 …

    Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief. This funding will ensure small businesses can survive the pandemic by helping to adapt their operations and keep their employees on the payroll. https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/stimulus-bill-29b-direct-restaurant-aid-appears-headed-passage …

        But they'll win better if they can get him out and a Dem in his place.

        Not considering the Rs will take - and get - more credit than the Ds

        They're certainly not winning when GOP gets away with claiming credit for popular policies, which is what's happening.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        It’s interesting that he appears to have fought for - and won - a specific amendment that lets him make this claim yet still vote against the whole bill. Dems should start putting poison pills in amendments: this amendment is only valid if the author voted for the whole bill.

        Not sure why this isn’t a common sense thing, especially for Republican amendments

        And then the independent restaurant coalition re-tweets Wicker, thanking him!

        This is spot on, but even knowing that, this bald-faced gaslighting is still ridiculous.

        Winning in Mississippi? What’s your empirical support for such a claim? I don’t see it with respect to this specific Senator.

        I'm telling you, all the Republicans would have signed on if they just agreed to put Donald Trump's name on the checks
