...And Shumer decided to do nothing. There, you were missing part of the sentence. You can't have far left radical wants and propose that as "a deal," then tell their Republican counterparts they need to come to the center. It was a disingenuous comment plain and simple, partisan hack politics, and yes-I blame both sides. But to put this solely on McConnell is wrong too. Remember 49-51 is not negotiations.
