When MTG has started to become the voice of reason, your party might have lost the plot...
She's 100% right. I know they are worried that if they do it, the other side will do it when they have the chance but this is the first two years of Trumps 2nd term. Historically the incumbents party gets walloped in the next mid term so its probably in their best interest to push as much through now as they can. Plus the incumbent seems to really want to stack the deck as much as possible to keep power so they have to think there is a better than average chance they won't face the consequences of their actions for some time. And nothing says even if they don't do it now, the democrats won't do it when they have the opportunity.
This all seems like political theater.
