One would assume you would bring the bill up when you have the votes, not ring it up and then don’t have the votes and look stupid.
Exactly correct. Why would McConnell bring up a cloture vote he knew was going to fail? Unless he just wanted to give some cover to the GOP on a fake “defund PP” vote?
Now the GOP critters will go back to their districts and strut about. Proudly telling their constituents they “voted to defund PP but those meanie Dems blocked it”.
Of course nothing of the sort actually happened but all the GOP cares about is cover on the issue. They have no interest in actually defunding PP.
exactly, this again was another staged prop by the RINPO;s thinking the base is stupid enough to swallow it,
