Hmm Jeff Flake (who said he’d have voted no) was absent, had more important things to do, his son’s wedding. Okay that’s a big deal and his vote wouldn’t have made a difference.
But he once missed a key (and close) vote in the house years ago when his daughter was competing in a beauty pageant.
Guys, this Senate vote was designed to fail from the start,
No one I has seen here expected Cruz to win over the Senate on this.
Now we are expected to count on Bohner to be the hero and to hold the line and be the main hero on making sure there is a shutdown to force Reid and Obama to defund O-care.
If their idea fails then the Debt limit is much lower hanging fruit to us to beat Dems on. Much better chance to get something to Obama to surrender on. .
There are showing real weaknesses for Dems on that.
What was Hatch’s excuse for missing the vote?
