“Do not help the Republicans on any issue.”
If they (Rs) can’t get a bill thru that they really want passed, it’s an opportunity for leverage by the Dems, to water down the Republican bill and extract a price by getting something important that Dems wouldn’t be able to get otherwise.

Just saying, may not be in our best interest to be absolutist about giving them no help.
