Two things occur to me based on the number of Democrats who voted against this bill:

A. There must have been a lot of emails and phone calls against this bill, otherwise it would have passed.

B. Nancy Pelosi has to be the weakest Speaker in the history of the house. That she could not get enough Dems to vote for this bill indicates that most Dems pay her no mind. No bill of this magnitude would ever reach the floor with a speaker like Rayburn if the votes weren’t pre-determined.

Amen to that. Pelosi isn't even a shadow of what Rayburn was.

Rayburn is spinning in his grave. The Democrats might decide they can no longer afford Nancy's incompetence.
