    That's because it's both bad policy & bad politics.https://twitter.com/KBAndersen/status/1425217285942386689 …

    None of the Republican Senators running for president (Cotton, Cruz, Hawley, Paul, Rubio, Tim Scott) were among the 20 Republican Senators who voted for the infrastructure bill.

        It’s fascinating that you think that least popular part of the GOP “program”, ie, resist spending money on stuff voters like, eg, health care, infrastructure, child care, while giving rich people tax cuts, is actually *good* politics!

        If you want to say this is “principled conservatism”, go right ahead. But that’s not the same thing as saying it’s “good politics.”

        Supporting a bill that not only brings badly needed infrastructure to a country that has kicked that can down the road for decades, but one that actually helps every day working Americans (unlike the 2017 tax bill, for instance) is indeed good policy and politics.

        Bad politics = "INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK" ad nauseam for four years and let the country's infrastructure deteriorate further. I think that this is GOOD POLITICS and good policy for the country.

        Scott is the outlier here. The others rarely have used policy as an incentive. Always politics.

        The politics will be those senators taking credit for infrastructure money coming to their states. We’ve seen this movie.
