the overwhelming of the culturally powerful are very left wing, hollywood, late night, musicians, even the athletes that are outspoken on politics.
Academia is overwhelmingly left wing.
The main stream media is overwhelmingly left wing.
We now are seeing those that control social media are overwhelmingly left wing and seeking to shut down anyone whos not.
Considering Trump won at all is amazing.
Really?
Exactly which policies are they proposing that are 'overwhelmingly left wing'?
They calling for the renationalisation of industry?
Taking telecomms back into state control?
Redistributing wealth from the super wealthy?
None of the groups you list are remotely left wing.

Once again, I thought you were talking about the CHIP program in the OP? You're reading like a bait & switch.
Why would Democrats help Republicans pass a Republican budget when Republicans won't allow Democratic amendments into it? If they put strictly the CHIP program up for a vote, that's a completely different ballgame. But clearly that's not what they're doing, is it?

Wrong. As I noted above, there is bipartisan support to pass the CHIP program. In fact, there was bipartisan support to pass a 5 year extension for it back in Sept but the Republican leadership simply refused to bring it to a vote (I even linked to a good article about it when it first happened). Now, Republicans are trying to use the CHIP program as a bargaining chip to get far more legislation passed. Hence the resistance.
Also, you might want to look at this roll call of Senate votes from last year. You'll be able to see for yourself that quite a few things were passed without getting 60 votes. It labels the passed legislation as "Agreed to" and the failed legislation as "Rejected".

Yeah, but in the case of Kimmel's own kid, do you really think he let's the writers decide when he is and is not going to use his own son as a prop?

Republicans completely control the House, Senate, and have the Presidency. They don't need the Democrats to come to the table for anything. It's not our fault you guys can't get your own politicians to vote together.
“We’re going to address the government staying open,” the Alabama Republican said, expressing joy that the plan didn’t include a DACA fix. “There will be nothing that relates to illegal aliens in this issue. This is to fund the government. … I think it will pass the House.”
Here, I even took the liberty of writing what he may say.

Lmao... man Kimmel what have you become. It especially annoys me when he talks about feminist issues, the guy used to host The Man Show which was basically all about objectifying women and drinking beer, now he thinks he can be the upstanding virtuous talk show host... don't think so Kimmel.
