@LPDonovan well it's not just that they don't want to, they also don't need to. so while there might not be a great case against it, the case for it is pretty meh too — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

@stevesingiser don't take this the wrong way--because i do think it's a totally fair that democrats can learn lessons from 09--but the ratio of tweets about how bipartisanship didn't work in 2009 to tweets about how bipartisanship wouldn't work in the context described here is just way off — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

@LPDonovan idk some of this is closer to rationalizing than reasoning. at its core, dems can get what they want through reconciliation, and they don't think bipartisanship is of much value. therefore, not much reason to inconvenience themselves or endure whatever risk exists — PolitiTweet.org

@LPDonovan i'd be pretty surprised if 2 was true, personally — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

@jimtankersley yeah, that's tricky but i do think it's manageable, if for no other reason than that the GOP 10 were on board to extend to june on current terms, which could be superseded by reconciliation anyway — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

@poniewozik I think it's a good assumption that you keep Manchin et al. for reconciliation, esp given the tweet at the outset, but that seems like something the White House is capable of evaluating — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

The case *for* that seems obvious: there is only a risk of COVID/vaccine distribution dollars coming through faster, as there's no delay on the reconciliation resolution and you could add in the vaccine dollars if they were negotiating in bad faith. So what is case against? — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

Here's a very narrow, clarifying question (since many think any bipartisan engagement means ACA repeat): what was the case against moving *just* the COVID/vaccine dollars through regular order (which the GOP 10 agreed on), while continuing to move on reconciliation resolution? — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

If you push a 1400 bill through regular order in February and it fails, you do 2000 through reconciliation in March and say the increased number is to cover the delay in relief https://t.co/xkc6TJWFV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

The case against it mainly boils down to delaying the package as a whole, but: --Democrats still control timing, and can bolt whenever conditions merit it --Much of the package isn't *that* time sensitive --Delay can be the excuse that lets progressives get to 2000 dollar checks — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

The case against it mainly boils down to delaying the package as a whole, but: --I'm not really convinced there's actually a great risk of delay, given that Democrats can bolt to reconciliation quickly --Delay can be the excuse that lets progressives get to 2000 dollar checks — PolitiTweet.org

Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

The case for it seems straightforward: --Quicker action on the most time sensitive vaccine/COVID aid, which could have been done already --A political/public opinion benefit to a) bipartisanship; b) multiple bills --An unknown shot that bipartisanship breeds bipartisanship — PolitiTweet.org
