well that’s a bold strategy, Nancy

Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats have outdone themselves this time by threatening to arbitrarily shut down the federal government over any attempt to repeal Obamacare.

Has the Minority Leader forgotten that her party was decimated at the ballot box because of this very issue?

“Nothing says sore loser like threatening to shut down the federal government over an issue that is responsible for knocking you out of power. Nancy Pelosi is doing an awfully good job of showing how beholden Democrats are to the fringe radicals of their party.” – Jesse Hunt, NRCC National Press Secretary

Via Politico:

House Democrats are threatening to oppose a short-term funding extension if Republicans plow ahead with a vote to repeal Obamacare this week, renewing chatter of a government shutdown if lawmakers can’t reach an agreement by Friday.

“We’re open to cooperation on the one-week [funding extension] if it appears that the [overall budget talks are] headed in a good direction and we just need time to do the paperwork etc,” a Democratic leadership aide told POLITICO. “But that cooperation is greatly impeded if Republicans attempt to use a [the one-week extension] to jam the TrumpCare bill through the House.”

Via The Hill:

House Democrats will oppose a short-term spending bill if Republican leaders attempt to expedite an ObamaCare repeal bill this week, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) warned Thursday.

Hoyer, the Democratic whip, spoke with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) Thursday morning to warn him of the Democrats’ position.
