“Those that opposed it from the left are likely to slide over and ultimately vote for it. That is why I think it will pass in the end.”

Precisely. Pelosi knows she has the votes. All that matters now is who has to vote for it, and who gets a pass this time around. They are just horsetrading and working that out amongst their caucus. Eventually it will be narrowed down to 216 aye votes and they will go to the floor with it.

Amusing though it may be, this drama is mostly nonsense.

Exactly right. The only problem she is having is those members who are saying “if he doesn’t have to vote for it, why do I?”

If they can work that out, it will likely pass.
