Theater. If those few RINOs hadn’t sat out, Mitch would have had some others do so. Or, if the votes were needed, they’d have had enough vote to keep it.
So tired and weary of it all. We have no representation anymore. It could be argued we haven’t since 1929.
Wow, Lee’s amendment failed by one vote and Cruz’s follow-up attempt by only 5.

This was considered a Repub victory for Mitch and Mitt.
