Hell yes I would. That is what a leader of the Senate does. If he really wanted the issue to go away, he would have voted yes and it would disappear forever. It is tough understanding the Senate but once you learn how it works then it is easily understood and I 100 percent approve of McConnell’s vote. But I don’t get emotional about procedures like some.
When cloture fails, the underlying issue is still alive, and still a subject of unlimited debate. The fact that bills or amendments "die" is not the result of a failed cloture motion, it is a choice by the majority leader.
If the majority leader is determined to pass something, he keeps it the matter of debate, and if he wants, he (along with the requisite number of senators) can file another cloture motion on the same subject.
I don't disapprove of him keeping the subject alive either, but holding the cloture motion over for reconsideration is not the only way, and procedurally, is an odd way.
