Republicans saying they'll "talk about health care after the government opens".
That makes no sense. It’s a senseless talking point because they have nothing else they can say other than that stupid lie that “Democrats want to give illegals health care”. It’s a lie that’s not working for them.
Talks can happen anytime, as anyone with a functioning brain knows.
Republicans want the Democrats to cave, then they will have something to say, which is to say the Democrats agreed to the increases in health care by agreeing to reopen the government.
Democrats need to keep up the fight. This is a good fight for Democrats.
