"White House officials acknowledge that they must accept some spending cuts or strict caps on future spending if they are to strike a deal"

Dems conceding to republicans yet again

• no 14th amendment
• no clear messaging on how republicans will tank the economy
• allowing R’s to say “dems refuse to negotiate” without clear pushback
• shows Trump’s ultimatum holds power over dems

This is why I’ve never voted *for* a democrat even though I always vote blue. Weak.
