On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) responded to a question on if he thinks the government funding bill is an overall win by stating that it’s better than a shutdown and the funding bill that was voted down on Thursday, and “given where we were, this was probably the best possible solution. But, of course, it was not what we had agreed to, originally. There were six weeks of arduous negotiation and then bipartisan agreement to a deal that got blown up by a tweet.”

Host Jim Sciutto asked, “So, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), he described this bill, to your caucus, as an overall win for the American people. Why? Do you agree with that?”

Is it possible the strategy from the beginning was to let the Democrats think they were getting everything they wanted until it was too late?

The only reason any kind of deal got done is because those scumbags in Congress didn’t want to mess up their Christmases. There are precious few in Congress that give a rip about America or Americans.

If Raskin doesn’t like it, it must be pretty good.
