>>A one-time, take it or leave it offer, was an insufficient effort in my opinion.<<
I've seen this mentioned a few times now. I think I missed something. What makes you say this was a "one-time, take it or leave it offer"? The provisions negotiated by the "gang" had only just been released, so not even members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate had really any chance to weigh in - nor enough GOP Senators to get to 60.
================
When Johnson said DOA, the Senate just gave up so that is why I call t one time.
Describing it as "take it or leave it" is premature since a bona fide offer was never placed on the table to take or leave or amend.
If I have a home for sale for $500K, you make an offer of $400,000 and I say that offer is DOA.
At that point, if you walk away with plans to buy that nice place in Ukraine instead, your offer of $400K was a one-time offer. If you really really wanted to make a deal, you might raise your offer to $459K or at least agree to discuss some repairs or other concessions that may make a deal possible. Gleefully breaking off any dialogue at all makes it appear you really only wanted that place in the Ukraine in the first place.
