That whole Washington two-step is exactly how they’ve crammed so much crap down our throat in the past.

That "Washington two-step" was designed that way by the framers...sorta.

They wanted a big flap on most issues so almost every bit of debate could be exhausted. But then they also assumed there would be reasonable minds and they didn't want the Senators elected at large, but appointed by the legislatures.

It all depends on who gets elected.

Just clear that first step then the Senate will fix it, then it will be fixed in conference, and the bill is ALWAYS made worse not better.

Maybe so, maybe not, but it will be amended, you can take that to the bank. The bill seldom escapes unscathed in its original form. In this case, a perfect bill (according to the HFC) would still have faced that fate, I don't see what difference it would have made.

Except now, we have no bill. (unless I'm wrong)

Of course the final action is the approval or rejection by the Prez.

Since the bill was pulled without a vote it can be resurrected and quickly brought back to the floor. Though I believe there is a time limit under reconciliation (probably the end of the year).
It would have to be rewritten to pass of course.
