Chamber of Commerce DINO Dems want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
This post if fairly typical of the battered wife mindset of “centrist” chamber of commerce Dems.
It is all “hoist up the white flag, we’ve lost” before the battle is even joined.
Del Dem says, “Andria Bennett has given the Republicans all the leverage.”
How does he figure when Dems hold a super majority in the house? I’m not saying Bennett made her play in order to make the Acting Gov come back to the table with more Rev, but why not take the opportunity?
Bennet’s vote seems very gettable in that with some minor amendments. As the post notes, Bennett was one of six Democrats who voted against the budget in 2015 BECAUSE it did not do enough to raise new revenues.
The only possible reason not to go with HB 107 and a package that brings more revue, and less draconian cuts is that the Acting Gov, some chamber of Commerce DINO’s, and the figure head Gov might peel off back the the GOP side.
“How does he figure when Dems hold a super majority in the house? ”
Democrats need at least 90% to have a reliable supermajority.
