After the GOP, with the help of Pelosi, Reid, McConnell and Obama passed the Cromibus bill that funds 99% of the years budget there is nothing left
For the GOP except Kabuki Theatre, Show Votes and Grandstanding.

Everything that follows is theatre, nothing more.

As I said: same old liberal horsecrap piled on us by a nicer looking shovel.

It really isn't show votes per se. I have read since this article was written, that it appears the republicans will do the short and simple version which the article points out is the one most likely to win. It also points out that the odds of this version passing the senate is small since the GOP will need 60 votes to pass and as you know, the repubs have only 55 senators.

And even if it passed, it would be vetoed, but I still don't consider these show votes. They are important votes because it puts every senator on record as a yes or no. For the past 6 years, Reid would not allow votes on bills like this.

It's slow, but it's one step at a time.
