You made a point and I made a different point. Do you believe that the political party that is in the majority controls the legislative agenda in the House of Representatives? Do the Republicans currently have their largest majority since 1929-1931?
To me, the votes of 190 members of the majority are more significant than the votes of 28 members of the minority.
That the GOP wanted TPA was never in doubt, nor an issue.
The Dems made a big show of fighting TPA and Obama last week.
But when push came to shove this afternoon, they did not follow through.
They could have been the good guys in all of this, but they choose not to.
Perhaps it was scripted, perhaps not.This was THEIR moment not to screw America, but they could not help themselves, being the creatures of habit that they are.
On this vote for TPA, they were in control—don’t kid yourself otherwise.
