I think this is all an elaborate high stakes bluff to get RINO fence sitters to jump on board to get their own “Louisiana Purchase” style payoffs, so this turd can then be labeled “bipartisan”.

You may be right.

You are probably right.

I wonder about that too. If that botoxed old crone, Pelosi, had the votes she would have passed the Senate bill by now. It would put the focus on Reid, whom she hates, and allow her time to crow about how powerful she is.

Nooooooooooo...perish the thought.

I think you’re right in part. I think if they have 48 votes in the Senate for this, they’ll go ahead, hoping that the remaining votes will appear.

Ditto with the House, they figure they have 205 votes and they’ll just go for this.

They don’t have any other exit strategy. The best outcome for them is that this passes. The second-best outcome is that it is voted down. The worst outcome is that it dies like Clintoncare. That would demoralize the Left.
