None of these Democrats should enjoy a moment's peace.
Cortez Masto (NV)
Durbin (IL)
Fetterman (PA)
Gillibrand (NY)
Hassan (NH)
Peters (MI)
Schatz (HI)
Schumer (NY)
Shaheen (NH)
They've effectively just voted for Donald Trump's agenda without putting up a fight. Never let them hear the end of it.

An acceptable outcome would have been getting them to extend ACA credits. Their central demand throughout.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Virginia just handed a huge win to Democrats in the midst of their shutdown fight. And this is your response? Dumb and weak
