Subject: Re: Joe Walsh
So let me ask you - what do you think would have happened if the Democrats continued to hold out? How do you see that ending that's different than this outcome?

I think commonone gave a good answer to that earlier in this thread:


"Let me remind you of what someone here said with respect to the republicans being caught between a rock and a hard place in just another ten days or so:

If the November 21 date passes and the current CR disappears, I don't think Johnson is able to pass a new CR out of the House without an ACA subsidy fix. With the Grijalva appointment and the GOP vacancy, they have (I believe) only two votes to give - and I can't see Greene voting for a CR without the ACA stuff in it, at this point."

However, Johnson will be forced now to call the House into session to take a vote on the Senate bill. So the outcome commonone predicted may still come to pass.
