Democratic Anger at Party Leaders Boils Over

“House Democrats privately exploded Tuesday at their emerging strategy to focus on health care in the upcoming government funding fight, saying the party should demand more for its votes,” Punchbowl News reports.

“These members added Senate Democrats must be willing to shut down the government if needed.”

“Twenty-one days before the government funding deadline, angry rank-and-file House Democrats told their leadership that the health-care-focused strategy is seriously lacking and exudes weakness.”

“These Democrats don’t think it’s enough to ask to extend enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies. They want Democratic leaders to take the fight to President Donald Trump and Hill Republicans — even if it means a government shutdown.”

This assumes Republicans are even willing to negotiate with Democrats — something they really haven’t done in years.
