Can you win by losing? Democrats are about to give it a try.
With time running out, congressional leaders have all but given up hope of passing any more legislation this year and are scheduling "message" votes to bolster their chances in the fall elections.

Clueless.Voters are angry BECAUSE of what they’ve already passed. So why remind them of the rest of its leftist agenda?
Moreover, why remind them that the majority party in Congress continues to ignore focusing on the economy in favor of getting further down their Bucket List while they still have the chance?
These votes simply will steel the resolve of voters to get to the polls and make sure these clowns get voted out of power before they can do more damage to the country.
