The gop feels confident they can just say it's the Democrats ' fault, and their voters will accept it. That seem more accurate than ever.

Exactly. Republicans are working hard to ensure a border crisis and an economic downturn. Money isn't being sent to Ukraine workers here are making good money making equipment and ammunition that will be sent there. Republicans, and Putin, don't want that so they are blocking the aid package.

I'm almost certain they will, but they'll have to ignore much more reality than they have in the past to do it, such as Biden saying he'd sign the bill that had everything they wanted. It won't be as easy to pin this on Democrats when it's been made clear long in advance that it's the GOP holding things up.
