2. I hear the actual story leaking into RW media

I heard the local talk radio guy this morning mention what the Dems are actually demanding. It was a recap of a call from someone from the Heritage Foundation. The host actually let out that Dems don’t trust Repubs and will have no leverage if the government opens back up. Frankly it was a slip by him. It’s very straight forward and surely impacts their audience.

Fast forward to this afternoon- the RNC chair (I think) was back to “free healthcare for illegals” so….

They have gotten away from the illegals bit.
Remember, Trump really isn’t in this. He’s busy being “peacemaker”. This is really on Mike Johnson. I can’t imagine they relent at this point but if they do they can out most of it on Mike. That would be a colossal retreat and meltdown.
