This was excellent and a deep meditation about tactics and principles. Forcing a vote on something that won’t pass would alienate allies, divide Democrats, unite Republicans, cost Dems seats in the midterms, and fail. We already know who supports M4A... https://t.co/JsXYxTKeX1 — PolitiTweet.org

But then, White House aides told Trump that if he vetoed the omnibus, he would t be able to go to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend because it would look bad during a government shutdown. “Fuck that,” Trump said. He signed the bill he had been railing against and went to Florida. — PolitiTweet.org

It was spring of 2018, and Congress had just passed a bipartisan omnibus spending bill. But then a Congressman from North Carolina by the name of Mark Meadows started getting on the phone with Trump and convinced him it was a bad deal. Trump said he would veto the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump: The Ultimate Monday Morning Quarterback (*only he’s actually the quarterback and refused to get in the game until it was over and everyone had gone home and it was a Tuesday night, not a Monday morning, because it was a Monday night game) https://t.co/ZcxnssxRGl — PolitiTweet.org

I like to imagine that Mitch McConnell had just changed into his silk pajamas, put on one of those goofy sleeping caps with a puffy ball, poured himself a glass of warm milk, took a big swig, and then opened up Twitter to watch Trump’s veto threat video. https://t.co/ZcxnssxRGl — PolitiTweet.org

So much is happening and it’s literally changing by the minute and who the hell knows? Please read for the latest on Trump’s veto threat — Did he even say the word veto? He didn’t, right? — on the coronavirus relief bill. https://t.co/ZcxnssxRGl — PolitiTweet.org

It took approximately one hour for Schumer to go from “let’s do it in the next package” to “what the hell? Let’s do it live!” And he decided to quote tweet a potential primary challenger. — PolitiTweet.org

Just can’t get over the political gift that Trump gave to Nancy Pelosi. She gets to clarify that she supports $2,000 and either gets to deliver it, or demonstrate that it’s Republicans who are blocking that money, not her. I hope she got him something nice for Christmas too... — PolitiTweet.org

This right here is your issue. Once you open this puppy back up for negotiation, the whole deal starts falling apart. Very cool that Donald Trump decided to get in the game when it was all over and the players had already gotten home. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The Dems who are like ‘Don’t threaten me with a good bill!’ and tweeting amendments to change the $600 to $2,000 seem good at politics, and the Dems who are like, ‘President Trump, enough with these delays. Sign this legislation now and let’s negotiate another package!’ seem bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether they override a veto or sustain it, House Democrats should probably pass a bill providing more direct stimulus to Americans and let the Senate do with it what they will. — PolitiTweet.org

First option is likely, if he vetoes. Second option seems unpalatable and unlikely, but possible given the politics. And the last outcome seems doubtful, but Democratic leaders may have a chance here to deliver more money for people if they want to give Trump the credit. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Here are the possible outcomes of Trump vetoing the coronavirus/omnibus Bill: -Congress just overrides and Trump looks powerless -Congress isn’t able to pass a new bill or override and Trump gets the blame -Congress actually amends the bill, people get $2,000, and he gets credit — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Both chambers passed this bill with majorities that could easily override a veto — 359-53 and 92-6 — and it is so Donald Trump to only offer his opinion on the legislation *after* it’s passed. If he didn’t like how much money it sent to people, would’ve been easy to tweet that. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
I hate to be one of those people, but I honestly think Trump gesturing that he’ll veto the coronavirus/omnibus bill is a distraction from him pardoning corrupt Congressmen and I don’t think we should focus on it. — PolitiTweet.org
