The good thing is they rolled all the issues over. Democrats have cover by insisting on CHIP, Dream Act, CSRs, opioid funding, a better disaster relief bill, and pensions.
Also, I think the democrats want the republicans to fall short on votes in the house, where they absolutely do not need democrats votes. If the plan is still a 2 year spending bill, then the FC is going to have some unreasonable demands, they’ll balk at the increase in domestic spending. Even then though, democrats can not kick the can down again. They will lose any momentum they had heading into 2018. The outrage has been intense. January! The final stand!
