The Never Trumpers are a spent force. That they are in hysterics over this is meaningless noise. This is an issue of importance to the bulk of the US People. It crosses party lines. It is absolutely a smart political move to force the Dems to side against voters views on this issue.
Dem House Candidates are busy lying about being Republican lite just like they did in 2006. Anything that forces them to go on the record against voters views, like this will, is good.
Yes, maybe good to get them on the record, but why apparently blindside Ryan and Graham, now having them undermine him? Maybe a meeting with a few key leaders and supporters in Congress could have avoided this debacle.
