$2000 checks was a great PR move that basically everyone was in favor of. The GOP senate could and should have capitalized on by delivering as soon as possible. Narrative should have been that Pelosi stopped checks from coming earlier to deny Trump a boost for the election.
Instead McConnell turned that great PR move into an own goal that cost him the senate. That's 100% his and the GOP establishment's fault.
Then why the fuck didn’t he just tell Mnuchin to agree to $2,000 instead of $600? It was only a good PR move for the Democrats, because the establishment GOP, whatever you think of them, is still half the party and you need them in order to get anything done, and hold the country to some kind of restraint in finances, otherwise why not just vote Democrat?
Trump is really just an old school Democrat with the same spending inclinations that are fucking this country up down and sideways. Now he’s stirring shit up with Pence, and pissing off a majority of the country.
