We knew it had no chance in hell of passing, even with all the lying about it. And now the democrats have a small problem on their hands.
Quotethe progressives are going to flip out if this is true and the bill doesn't go to a vote. They are going to roast Joe Biden alive because they were promised it would be voted on if they voted for infrastructure.
And here is one question for any of the liberals here, Why would a democrat believe what another democrat tells them? Those who lie to get their way, lie to everybody.
What is that old saying, "There is no honor amongst thieves."?
Dont be celebrating just yet. Heard on Kudlow they are going to drop the vote on the bill for now BUT they are now going to try and get around the filibuster to pass an election reform bill that will nationalize the elections and keep them in power forever.

QuoteWhy would you move off a signature policy goal in order to focus on another bill that you have nowhere near the votes needed to pass it?
QuoteThe answer here is that there isn't one — except a lame attempt to save face. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer realized their gooses were cooked on passing another massive spending bill, at least for the time being (and good luck passing it next year with an election approaching). Yet, they needed something to pacify their rabid left-wing base. What better way to do that than to play into the fantasy that Democrats can federalize elections and "save democracy"?
QuoteThe votes simply aren't there, though. What you are witnessing is a political party that is content to continue painting itself into a corner. Forget Republican turnout next year and the historical winds battering the Democrat electoral ship. Even just honing in on left-leaning voters, the bill is going to come due for all these empty promises. Once it does, Democrats are going to have a revolt on their hands, and that likely means depressed turnout. This is what happens when you promise the world and can't deliver, and as I've suggested many times, the current Democrat coalition was never sustainable.
I would like to believe it was Minister Freeland's letter that kills this bill. The electric vehicle provisions are a direct violation of the new NAFTA agreement negotiated by President Trump's administration. As a result, it would erase the concessions President Trump gained for the US and will hurt American workers and consumers.
Canadians, who breathed a sigh of relief when Biden took the oath of office, are beginning to realize President Trump was a better friend than Biden.
However, it is clearly the civil war within the Democratic Party that is helping us. They have no clue that Canada is the United State's largest trading partner and any disruption will have devastating consequences to the US economy.

If you look at this from the POV that the DNC only cares about destroying the US, then suddenly everything will make sense.
No, I am not kidding, the Marxist left hate the American culture based on capitalism/freedom and small govt.
Seriously, try it from the view point, and yeah, it's hard to believe, but the left despises our Constitution and bill of Rights even more.

Lets hope you are right. If reps had 51 senate votes it would have no chance. Election "reform" means one party authoritarian rule forever.
