Dem Kabuki 9 Will Cave With Pelosi Face Pointed At Em
The WSJ was right in predicting the “centrist” Dems who the MSM said were “tying up” Bernie’s & Nancy’s $3.5T spending spree will cave. Yesterday, that's exactly what they did "on schedule" as the "House holdouts agreed to a fig leaf & passed Bernie Sanders' budget outline."
For one thing, the editors had noted, “Pelosi views [her troops] as cannon fodder,” and “if history holds this will turn out to be Kabuki theater.” More importantly, the supposed “show down” was “mainly about process.” That is, the rads supposedly wanted the bigger pork-filled spending spree to be passed by the House first and the Dems’ $1.2 “infrastructure” aka pork-filled spending spree passed afterwards.
Concluded the editors: “The problem for the [nine] swing-district Democrats – please don’t call them moderates – is that Mrs. Pelosi likes it when they win competitive seats to build her majority, but once they get to DC she expects them to toe the progressive party line.” In the end & as forecasted, the Kabuki 9 caved faster than a man with a Pelosi face pointed at his or her head.
