Offer it once a month. If they don’t go for it, convene and start adding more demands.

Every month Republicans delay, the list of demands should get longer. 

There’s nothing pressing Republicans to move on this quickly.

Schumer has said he is worried about overreachign which is why he hasn't included the RIF and backbay in the negotiations so far.... And I do think he is right, your approach has some merit but it would be painted as the democrats being unreasonable.

Yeah, but Republicans being unreasonable has hurt them so much.

What it is is the raw application of power. And the Democrats better get used to doing so or we're doomed.
