What's your opinion on the $700bn bill?

I could see this failing to pass on the House floor a second time. The election and this debacle is so ill timed. Clearly when the house voted the first time the Democrats were the ones mainly on board, and Republicans voted against their own President.

Maybe I am naive, but I could see the Democrats concluding that the Republicans want them to drive this bill through by themselves - and if it goes awfully wrong the Republicans will blame the democrats for endorsing a failed billed.

So my point? Democrats may not vote for it this time putting the pressure on the Republicans to make a move.

I expect they might get it on the 3rd try.
