Republicans:
Never utter the words, "the president will just veto it," when you control both houses of Congress.
Never utter the phrase, "but the Senate will not pass it," when you control the House.
Pass the damn bills anyway. MAKE the Democrat sitting president veto it. MAKE the Democrat controlled Senate vote against it.
In case you are taking notes, this is not a lesson the Democrats need to learn.
By not bringing it to a vote because it's 100% certain to pass you never force the opposition to take a position. Then they can, later, plausibly state they never opposed whatever it was you didn't bring to a vote. By forcing the vote, forcing the veto you get them on record with their position on a subject. You make them own it. There are times when forcing your opponent into a position is more valuable than winning the battle.
Please, start trying to win wars and stop worrying about skirmishes.
