The Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will not allow Trump to have too many legislative wins.
Not heading into an election they won’t. But what makes for good politics makes for lousy results for the American people.
The media gets too out of control with the divisions in America when by far we all agree that we want the government to reach across the aisle and get stuff done.
Look, the way they treated Trump, a friend to many, a donor to all, and a former Democrat, shows you they are full of it.
Trump ran on reaching across the aisle - he took on both parties and it is time for them to drop their ego’s, like Sen. Kyrsten Sinema did, and work with the President.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is set to be the first Democrat to work alongside Republicans on a paid parental leave idea, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said Wednesday.
“It is the first bill that is bipartisan,” Cassidy said at an event about paid family leave at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Cassidy hasn’t unveiled his legislation yet but is expected to soon. As with several other plans Republicans have rolled out in recent weeks, the idea is expected to involve the Social Security program. Other Republican plans have proposed allowing new parents to take Social Security early to pay for leave, in exchange for delaying retirement until later.
“The simple answer is: most likely,” Cassidy said in a later phone call with the Washington Examiner about whether the bipartisan plan would use Social Security.
“The reason I pause and hedge is because I have a bipartisan co-lead. We just established this relationship within the last week. I’m not going to presuppose where she is going to land.”
Sinema confirmed on Twitter that she was working on the bill. “I’m working with @SenBillCassidy on bipartisan #paidfamilyleave because Arizona families deserve the chance to get ahead,” she wrote.
