Washington 2016 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. V

[Prolieum]

Opposing a bill with such heavy concessions is not a particularly wise strategy for the Democratic party.

As Chewion noted, the bill has been negotiated-on backstage by party leadership. A budget fight benefits no-one, and the Democrats least, thus the bipartisan nature of the bill, and the concessions given by the Republican majority.

Nah... pulling a Mitch McConnell.

Is De Nieto not particularly focused on infrastructure?

[Imperial Esplanade]

There it is, Spicy's reaction.

Is De Nieto not particularly focused on infrastructure?

No he is going to angle for the VA, and Social Security agencies to be exempt from the cuts.

And education as well.

I think it may be helpful if party leadership came forward to express support for the bill, otherwise it's bound to fail due to partisan bickering.

On that note, I'm presuming this is the bill that Eberhardt spoke to Carrollton about awhile back? Obviously she's a bit incapacitated, but she'll perhaps be willing to do something about the bill when she recovers.

Such would destroy the deal. The Republican majority would exempt its own programs, and not the Democratic ones.

The purpose of a nondiscriminatory cut is to be nondiscriminatory.

The difficulty being that said leadership is mostly only present in player form in the Senate, given our extreme lack of Representatives.

I'll be out till Saturday/Sunday so don't expect to see me

Saving the VA, education, and social security is likely to be highly popular, not even most Republicans want to cut education nor SS.

I presume as much, but such an endorsement would carry some degree of worth with her house-colleagues. While it may not be much, it'll at least be something.

Right, but you'd have to convince the House as opposed to the people. Besides, who is to say that they're not going to make a counter-offer that seems unacceptable to your character? Thus the start of the bill's death.

Oh, De Nieto is just going to amend the bill by just removing those three from the discretionary spending.

[Uttland]

I swear to God, if he becomes Minority leader...

I might just have to see if I have any characters to run against him.

De Nieto would be a far more effective Minority Leader, mainly because he can serve as a bridge between the Progressives and Democrats.

Indeed.

To which the Republicans can respond by stripping out funding for the various liberal programs that they dislike.

To a career politician such as De Nieto, and particularly one in support of infrastructure, the consequences of his actions ought to be quite clear.

[Uttland]

I either want to create a Dem Rep. or Dem Sen. Which?

Also would Torres help De Nieto by amending the US budget act by removing the VA, Education, and Social Security from the cuts?

Rep.

[Tallahassee News Station]

I still want my hecking Representative!

[Imperial Esplanade]

I either want to create a Dem Rep. or Dem Sen. Which?

The Senate is diluted with a lot of characters, the House is far more empty and quite in need of player-controlled characters.

[Dentali]

Whats the count of republicans v democrats in congress?

[Imperial Esplanade]

Whats the count of republicans v democrats in congress?

Before or after inauguration?

[Meelducan]

Donald Johnson do the smile.

[Uttland]

Indeed.

What do I say?
