I think the issue that's going on right now is there was not a lot of explaining that a short-term government spending bill in March of 2025 is not the fight. People want to know what is the fight. Where are we going to have an opportunity to stand up to Republicans?

This looked like one of the few times when Democrats had a role to play and they caved. Chuck Schumer has been hammered by Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries has been not really supportive.

Another thing that's developed is it's not just Donald Trump. there's a whole right-wing ecosystem that does the work for him of threatening of, of making you fall in line. Um, he really doesn't need to anymore be the one to threaten you with a primary challenge.

If you don't vote the way he wants you to vote, there's Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon and this whole ecosystem that knows the playbook and doesn't need direction. So it kind of just exists on its own now.

And there's just this like constant stream back and forth between Bannon's house and the House floor. They just walk back and forth.
