It would have been good if leaders had been giving this as the reason the MAGA Murder Budget was so appalling. Not just that it was horrific legislation. It was appalling because the Republicans are POWERLESS to implement the spending side without the help of Democrats. They should have been making that case for weeks. It was political idiocy to steamroll that through.

They should have been crystal clear that the changes were already DOA. That Of Course they are going to refuse to be accomplices in the biggest cut to Medicaid in history. Republicans steamrolled them and when Republicans need them, they WILL NOT comply.

Republicans' refusal to negotiate on reconciliation was politically insane because they will have to work with them NOW.

What they failed to make clear over the past weeks MUST be made clear NOW:

Talking Points:

Republicans want to cut your healthcare so badly, they'll shut down the government to do it.

It's about refusing to be accomplices in the biggest cuts to Medicaid in U.S. history.

It's about refusing to be accomplices to increasing healthcare premiums for 75 million Americans by an average of 75%.

It's about refusing to be accomplices to the Republican Congress's cowardly refusal to DO THEIR DUTY and demand that Trump stop breaking his oath of office and start carrying out the laws passed by Congress NOW.
