Usually when a close vote will appear in the House or Senate
we normally see Blues voting on strictly enforced party lines
Schumer or Jefferies stamping out any attempts by members to
show some spine and with their vote decline
Yesterday we witnessed a rare event
With a House passed budget bill needing Senate passage to a
shutdown prevent
Chuck Schumer who has pledged again and again to resist
Trump and Musk tooth and nail
Had an epiphany moment when his dormant common sense rose up
from its slumber to prevail
If the federal government were shut down Blues would feel
the voters outrage and blame
And with the government still functioning with reduced “essential
workers” Blues’ attempts to curb DOGE would be shot down in flames
Trapped in a corner by Trump he realized the Blues had no
choice
Schumer announced his support of the continuing
resolution in a loud and convincing voice
To be joined by Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Schatz, Peters,
Hassan, Gillibrand and Shaheen—as well as King, a Maine independent who
caucuses with the Blues
But 37 Blues shedding all common sense continued their
resistance at any cost path which they should come to rue
A needed crumbling of the Blue Voting Bloc?
Sadly despite in the best interests of the nation probably not
But for the moment Reds should rejoice and relish at the
sight
At the Blues being engaged in a finger pointing of blame
fight
And concentrate on convincing Fetterman to on party affiliation switch
Making it easier to climb out of the deepening National Debt
ditch
