Is there some additional piece to this bill that would make it impossible for Republicans to support? Other than it being amazingly beneficial to the general public?
Just want to throw this out there in case anyone thinks he’s being sarcastic or hyperbolic. He is not. Opposing anything Democrats do en masse by default is GOP mantra now, championed for many years by Mitch McConnell – a man once known for killing his own bill because it started getting Democrat support. Compromise and bipartisanship are considered signs of weakness in the GOP, to the point where it’s almost political suicide today to even think about it. Whatever the Democrat position on any given subject is, the GOP must rally against it. This is not sarcasm. This is not hyperbole. This is GOP dogma.
Isn’t the fact that it tries to stop big business from making even more money enough for them not to support it? Or just the mere fact that Democrats were the ones proposing it?
Republicans control the House. There is very little chance they’ll let this bill reach the floor and essentially 0 chance any on them will vote for it.
This is one of those bills that gets proposed just for the attack ads.
“Republican Senator Dickweed WANTS hedge funds to own your home.”
Dirty but effective pool, I’m glad Dems aren’t still “going high.”

Republicans don’t support anything proposed by democrats. On purpose.

I don’t understand what you are commenting on. It this also about not supporting the bill, or just the upcoming ad campaigns?
