I would hate to vote as they did. I don’t know their districts all that well, and I’m not against them running for cover if the head count without them was already solid.
No use putting them in a position to lose their seats.
This may not have been the hill to die on, if the bill was already passing.
“No use putting them in a position to lose their seats.”
If they are not going to stay in line with the GOP who supported them financially and campaign wise, then losing their seat to someone else won’t mean anything as they are going to vote against the party as it is. The GOP knew the importance of this bill, and the twelve that bailed out knew it in the best interest of the people they were elected to represent and wished to have happen. And to still vote the way they did after they knew the bill was passed, is not to be ignored. I had rather they have abstained. They are an embarrassment to the GOP.
I, for one, and I think many, are tired of seeing the GOP hide under the table when it comes to doing what is needed and not what may get you re-elected. This line of excuses for not doing their job is unacceptable. You’ll notice it didn’t bother the libs to vote straight down “no” on it. See them making excuses? Please don’t accept kicking it down the road anymore and letting Trump down with your support. He’s earned it.
