BTW when your negotiation strategy is, "Hey Republicans, you better vote for this or else you'll be blamed and you'll never get a better deal out of us"...you'd best have a backup in case the other side calls your bluff.

Johnson called, and the democrats don't have a Plan B. That's obvious.

What are you talking about? Johnson killed the bill before the provisions were released. He killed the bill before any party said "you better vote for this." He killed the bill before anyone had a chance to talk about the provisions, before any changes could be made.

The Republican strategy was, "Hey, Democrats, when we said we wanted border security in the Ukraine bill, we meant you better vote for exactly our HR 2 bill or else you'll be blamed and you won't get anything out of us."

You're seeing the Democrats' Plan B right now. Once the GOP walked away from a foreign aid plus border package, they passed a clean border package. They'll try to use a discharge petition to get it to the floor without Johnson doing anything.
