OPINION: Stop hoping the GOP will play ball – By Charles Blow (Las Vegas Sun) / June 23 2021
I am truly baffled as to why Democrats continue to search for bipartisan support that has not only been illusory but nonexistent — with the exception of a predictable few, and only on a few issues.
Democrats: Republicans don’t want you to win. It’s that simple. They want no successes on your watch, and they certainly don’t want to participate in said victories.
And yet the reports keep pouring in of Democrats bending over backward and gutting their bills in a desperate effort to win Republican support.
It seems to me that this has all been a performance, a going through the motions, a checking of the boxes so that Democrats could say that they tried, that they extended a hand but were rebuffed. Democrats always seem to want to win the moral advantage, to say that they played the game with honor.
