    It's actually pretty smart/basic political strategy on the part of Nancy Pelosi.

    If you can attach riders which you know will cause a bill to fail, you have just created an issue to run on. Most people won’t consider the attachments.

    Remember, in order to pull off the condescending act, you have to actually be smart. That means I can do it, but you faceplant when you try.



    So why are you faking the story about many Democrats opposing Pelosi?

    Dems are fricking liars, the whole damned lot of them. As soon as they got the chance, they voted her in as SoH.

    Personally I see a great deal of immigration as a tool to depress the labor market on both ends and would like to see even legal immigration curtailed. But since we aren't going to do that legal would be preferable to illegal for reasons already stated.

    Which is why bills should be voted on separately

    Usually once one becomes elected, their focus then is all about being reelected. In order to be reelected, they will do what they are told to do.
