Trump pressures McConnell, GOP to ditch bipartisan talks until they have majority
By Brett Samuels - 07/26/21 10:10 AM EDT

Former President Trump on Monday urged Senate Republicans to abandon talks on a bipartisan infrastructure deal until after the midterm elections or when the GOP retakes majorities in Congress.

"Senate Republicans are being absolutely savaged by Democrats on the so-called 'bipartisan' infrastructure bill," Trump said in a statement as Senate negotiators work to finalize an agreement this week.

Trump claimed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Republicans working on the deal, such as Sens. Rob Portman (Ohio), Susan Collins (Maine) and Mitt Romney (Utah), were merely interested in proving they could work with Democrats.

"It is so important to [McConnell] that he is agreeing to almost anything," Trump said. "Don’t do the infrastructure deal, wait until after we get proper election results in 2022 or otherwise, and regain a strong negotiating stance. Republicans, don’t let the Radical Left play you for weak fools and losers!"

The statement marked the third time in recent weeks where Trump has issued a statement through his post-presidency political action group bemoaning Republicans' willingness to negotiate on a bipartisan infrastructure bill.

So what difference will having a majority make? The GOP has caved to the democrats whether or not they had the majority since the long ago days of a Speaker Gingrich.

The GOP for the most part are cowards, but its not really arguable that what might come out of a future GOP congress would be at least marginally better than what will come out of a Pelosi congress.

At the very least it forestalls the surrender until what might be a more propitious moment.

Exactly.  I find it difficult to believe that Trump hasn't seen the writing on the wall.  The GOP is just about dead and anyone thinking that they are going to regain a majority is dreaming.

Secondly, the DEMS have no intention of adhering to the rule of law.

I see this as all smoke and mirrors and deceiving Trump's voting base.  People need to wake up.  Trump isn't going to swoop in and save the day.  It's just not going to happen!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
