I think the Democrats opposed the CR because they needed to show their constituents that they were going to try to "fight" for some of their priorities, despite being in the minority.

Classic Clintonite inside the beltway institutional democratic response. This is an example of lip service to fighting for the working class versus actually fighting for the working class.

The democrats need to hold out. Trump can’t and won’t lose face so he will force the republicans to blow up the filibuster. They will get their clean CR, working class Americans will lose their health insurance, and the republicans will 100% own the economic disaster that will follow from owning it all.

We will see if we still have Al’s lip service democrats or a new fighting Democratic Party.
