In what universe did Pat Toomey think that this was going to end well for himself? If it passed he wasn’t going to gain any votes from the gun grabbing crowd, who hate Republicans for a multitude of reasons. And he’d be forever portrayed as a traitor by the conservative Pennsylvanians who elected him. Now that his bill has been defeated, he just looks like a useful idiot for the Democrats. His 15 minutes of fame and dinner with Obama will never be worth the damage to his credibility.
