My take: The phone lines burned up, it's why the bill died.

You may be right, but I've not given up. When Ted Cruz says the pressure works, I perk up and listen. If we all give up and watch the Zimmerman trial as a substitute for actively trying to sway our government, it's not a good thing.

The House is not the Senate. Yet.

For those phone lines to have made a difference, you would have to believe that enough Democrats were convinced to change their mind, that the majority party couldn’t pass the bill on their own.

Can’t convince me of that. Something else was in play, and I believe it was stealth Democrat McCain and what it would mean to Democrats if he was elected with Ddmocrat majorities in Congress.

Then they’d get immigration and much more.
