The republicants don’t want to listen to anyone offering some strategy/ logic. They should have allowed whatever bill presented by the demoncrats to go through and pull an 0bama.
What is pulling an 0bama? Simple, the emperor as a senator loved to cast his vote as “not voting”. That way he didn’t have a pro/ con position on a sensitive issue! This is all the republicants had to do. Walk into Congress the day of a vote and check off “not voting”; this way there is no one to attack them for voting yes or no.
The demoncrats on the other hand along with the emperor would own whatever nightmare bill they would produce!
