STEPHANIE RUHLE (HOST): If it's so bad, if this isn't democracy, why don't Democrats just let it roll? If this is going to blow up in Republicans' face at the end of the day, why don't Republicans, excuse me, why don't Democrats step out of the way and say, “have at it” and let Republicans fall on their face?
UPDATE: Later, on MSNBC Live, Stephanie Ruhle acknowledged her earlier comments and noted that Democrats “can’t really play games because this is life or death”:
RUHLE: I made the argument earlier, so what if Democrats just said, “Fine. This is on you. Let’s see what this looks like.” They can’t really play games because this is life or death. It’s going to affect 100 percent of the American people.
