Senators may believe it is the best for themselves, looking past this election, and guessing Trump will lose.

A "scorched earth" governing policy of neglect and incompetence, so our nation is so enfeebled, divided, adrift, indebted and politically and economically broken that Biden will be easily blamed as at fault. He will be hobbled, obstructed, progressive actions stymied, and the easily gamed swing electorate ripe for a voting turnaround and GOP sweep in 2022.

Uhhh no. Republicans and

Uhhh no. Sarcasm??

Republicans and Trump will be done with COVID after the election, whether Trump wins or loses. Any stimulus they propose will be neutron star heavy on lining their own pockets and patrons bottom lines.

They are practically done with COVID now. Any advantage, votes, or distraction they thought they could get in gaming their reelection with feigned concern for the hungry or homeless will vanish after the election. They will only go back to their usual objectives, dividing the country with lies, fear and racism, cutting the safety net, eliminating corporate taxes, worker/environmental regulations and cutting taxes on the rich.

Good point. My point still

Good point about what might happen. My point still stands though, it's risky for them to do this. I don't get that part.

GOP senators say coronavirus deal dead until after election

Because after the election no matter who wins the republican bill will pass. Trump will sign what ever republicans send him and Biden will support the republican bill as a compromise and act of non partisanship.

"GOP sees pressure on Pelosi as key to pandemic relief deal"

“The question is does this force Pelosi to listen to her 20 members in districts where the Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the Democrat,” said one Republican senator familiar with party strategy. https://t.co/mIM8YWwn2z

WTF, nobody wants to get re-elected, is that the thing?

A reminder that this means no hope of help until after inauguration, whatever the results of the November election, it won't change much until late January, may get worse as losing incumbents go "fuck you back" to constituents and dig in their heels and do nothing.

Do the ones up for re-election have golden parachutes set-up as like lobbyists and such, ready to go next year?
