Quote:At GOP leaders’ insistence, for example, it would’ve increased food insecurity for millions of struggling Americans by cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. What’s more, the traditionally bipartisan bill was, this year, put together exclusively by Republicans. Donald Trump’s demand for punitive work requirements was, of course, also included in the package.
Either this shit is in it or not.
Quote:If House GOP leaders capitulate to their extremist flank, they end up with bad bills that can’t pass the Senate. If House leaders ignore the Freedom Caucus’ demands, its members block the leadership’s bills.
And this we have seen before!
