发帖数: 5818 | 1 我理解现在不是啥政治恶斗的时候，民主党那边抱团跟铁板一块，gop 自己也得尽量放
下自己，团结一起，保住来之不易的胜果，关键问题也少数服从多数，暂时别搞建制对
保守，保守对温和等等，
选民希望dc 的人能做事情，gridlock只能对执政党hurt 多，这是民主党最愿意看到的。
既然200多 议员同意了，最后时刻 freedom caucus 该妥协。 回头跟选民还是有解释
通的，尤其这些人几乎没啥竞选压力。
他们的计划，完全appeal 给两年过度，那其实这俩年就是奥巴care，还不如gop 现在
这个，两年后的replace plan 也没着落，和不确定的phase 3在实际上是一样的 |
