I don't think anything guarantees a win. There are endless factors involved. I think the call for a $2000 check is going to help Democrats, and Republicans from Trump down are playing into D hands with this.



Wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans support the $2k. It’s their only chance to win Georgia. Approve it and let Trump take credit for it



The house republicans blocked a unanimous consent modification attempt. The dems are putting froward a new $2000 bill on Monday. It will pass the house and I think there's a good chance the senate will pass it. They will definitely lose Georgia if they don't.

Fact is, come Monday, you will have a President screaming that the people deserve $2000. You will have a House voting to give $2000.
You will then have McConnell saying that he will not bring it up for a vote.
Who will be the one preventing the $2000? McConnell and the Republicans. Period.

When it comes to all the entitlement programs that the dems push for, it may be 50-50 out there if it's right or wrong. But, for example, take section 8. There are way more people that would qualify than actually receive it. Therefore, it's not at the forefront of every lower income person's mind. Even other programs that can apply to anyone that wants, are not utilized by every person that is eligible, because they simply don't want to be bothered or know how to apply. So when they think of Democrats, and funding for various programs, it doesn't really talk to all lower income people, since some aren't part of programs. Therefore it doesn't usually raise the voting bar above 50 50 range.

However, the $2000 stimulus goes to every low- middle income family, without needing to even apply for it. Therefore it moves the ideological needle above the 50 50 mark, especially when you say, if there is 2.3 trillion of pork being spent, why can't I at least get $2000.

That is my reasoning, that if McConnell holds the bill in the Senate, they will lose Georgia badly, since the blame will fall squarely on the R Senate, and the frustration will be taken out on the 2 incumbent Georgia senators.

At the end of the day the Rs know these reasons to and seem to disagree with your assessment.

They are making a mistake if they go down this route, and it will backfire.
That is my opinion. You can disagree.

Something concrete, or he’s just looking for attention and to take credit for other people’s work?

hmmmm...
I spoke to someone whose political sense I trust and he told me that he feels Trump is just bluffing by saying he won't sign the bill. He believes that Trump wants everyone to scramble like they are doing now, and if everything falls through, he will end up just signing the bill that congress approved.

Related to this tweet just before it:

??

January 6 is the date Congress counts and certifies the electoral votes. Hopefully his delusions about what happens on that day have nothing to do with the stimulus bill.

What an idiot

Now, so that Republicans don’t take the blame tomorrow for the $2k failing?

Being that this prediction seems to have played out, I think it is only right to give credit where credit is due and reveal the name of the "someone whose political sense I trust."

Drumroll please...

What's his understanding behind DJT reasoning (not that there needs to be any)?
