Republicans run the House, the Senate, and the White House.

 

You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead.

 

If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats.

 

Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.

I doubt it needs explaining.

Republicans do have the votes for a simple majority. Democrats have the filibuster, something you may recall, they had tried to eliminate when they were in the majority.

To really get things done permanently requires supermajority of 60 votes in the Senate, not a simple majority of 51. Its the one lever they can still pull and they are.

Anyway, the Democrats are threatening / appear willing to use the filibuster to block the bill from passing.
