80. Then the tax cuts expire and the unemployed that get cut off will blame the Rethugs

People in the real world know that it is the Republicans that are holding the UI benefits hostage.
If the deal fails, the benefits will expire and there will be anger, but once the Republicans feel the heat in their respective districts, they will vote to pass an extension of UI benefits. The Republicans will eventually cave on this due to constituent pressure. They have before and they will again.

Passing a shitty deal just to say you got it through is no excuse for voting on a shitty deal.

You ConservaDems need to put on your Man Pants and fight for a change. Pissing your pants in fear of the Republicans is not a winning strategy.
