The Democrats are all up in arms about ICE right now but they just had a chance to do something about it in Congress and they totally failed.
Whether you agree with the ICE raids or disagree– my thoughts are here— you CANNOT disagree that the Dems are very weak and TERRIBLE negotiators.
Here’s what I mean.
Congress just voted to pass a bill to continue funding ICE operations. The vote was 220-207.
But look closer.
7 democrats voted for the bill along with 213 republicans.
So what?
Well, if the Democrats had stuck together– the way Republicans know how to do– the vote would have been 214-213 AGAINST funding ICE.
The Democrats would have WON. But they didn’t. Weak.
Now the bill did a lot of other things too. But if the Democrats had hung together they would have had tremendous negotiating power to get more things done for their side. They could have scored HUGE concessions. Maybe a pull out of ICE from Minnesota or a deal with how ICE would apprehend criminals. But they are very weak and they cannot make good deals.
Min doesn’t know how to make deals. He just sends letters and whines on X.
This is why Americans don’t (and can’t) trust the Democrats. They are terrible at getting things done in D.C.– just TERRIBLE– even when they’re on the right side of an issue.
But notice something else.
Let’s say the Democrats had stuck it out. And the Republicans voted as a block.
214-213, right?
But if Troutman was in Congress…
213-213.
With Troutman holding the deciding vote.
Now THAT my friends is what you’re voting for.
Because just IMAGINE what I could get done with that kind of leverage out there.
The most powerful man in Congress by a mile. The deals I could deliver for District 47 would be INSANE.
Min, Maxsenti, Miranda I know you all are reading this.
Be smart.
I’m the guy.
Drop out and support Troutman right now!
