    in your opinion , why did a bunch of Democrat Senators, who co-wrote the bill and sponsored it, decide to change their mind and not support it at the last minute?

    The GOP crafted the bill without any input from the Democrats. Do you understand that at all?

    Senate Republicans Unveil New Coronavirus Relief Package

    "The proposal was drafted by Senate Republicans and the Trump administration. The bill still needs to be negotiated with Senate Democrats, which McConnell said would happen Friday."

    Well, I guess the turtle and cheeto are staying true to their word to take "politics" and "partisan games" out of this...

    Curious, if her support or buy-in is vital, why not invite her and Schumer into the room, hash out differences and come to an agreement both parties can agree to?

    No doubt some of that that should be removed too but it is nowhere near the level of the bullcrap the Dems want in the bill. The bill that was being pushed was bi-partisan until Pelosi got involved..

    You may want to lay off the media sources where you are getting your information. The virus has never been called a "hoax" by anyone. Your media sources are taking statements out of context to push a narrative.

    It takes more than just the Senate to get a bill passed for the President to sign.

    There are two 2-yard lines on a football field. Which one are we talking about here?

    GOOD DAY

    No it wasn’t a bipartisan bill. Mitch McConnell stated “Since we are the majority we will draft a bill and then if the Democrats don’t like it they can respond.”

    The bill is the Republicans bill (which they have every right to draft) but it certainly isn’t a bi partisan bill.

    This would be a death sentence if Bill O'Brien was in charge.

    So they need to stop trying to blame the Dems.....

    They all get it...

    But they just want to say it's all the Dems fault....

    It's both parties fault... Both parties need to pull all of the BS out of the Bill and only put in what is needed for the PEOPLE...

    I've watched Fox News and have seen the way they acted before the President issued the 15 day guidelines. Try again.

    When they say 2 yard line, all rocket fans cringe.

    Agreed he didn’t say COVID was a hoax. He said the Democrats criticism of his handling of the virus was an impact. I am not sure why democrats are going with this, they have at least a half dozen statements of him lying about the COVID impact or severity that they should be pointing out. Trump humiliated himself on the entire COVID pandemic, there is no reason to make things up or take things out of context.

    What??? Wait a second I am very confused. So now workers impacted will get 4 months of payments? I thought the Democrats were not looking out for common Americans.
