I don't know why Trump "sided with Democrats" on a short-term Continuing Resolution & Hurricane Harvey relief funding. But there is more to the story. And I have some questions. Setting the stage. Budgets. Types of spending bills. Continuing Resolutions have allowed leadership by crisis management. What happened to Trump's budget in Congress? Fear of government shutdown terrifies GOP. No clean bills. Trump agrees with Pelosi & Schumer that a 90-day CR is preferred to an 18-month CR. McConnell & Ryan act like they lost, but they can pass whatever legislation they want. Would Trump veto it? Would Democrats filibuster it? Why did Trump side with Democrats. Some questions I have. Reframing this issue & debate. Planned Parenthood comments on DACA. Just slightly ironic - and completely sad.
