The seem to have tried this every time they have had the Majority in the House over the last 30 years or so.
It is EASY to vote on and pass something if you know it will go no further.
(remember it wasn’t a ‘priority’ the first 2 years of WJC and certainly not of BO....ONLY time it comes up is when it can be used ‘AGAINST’ the Rs or R Administration).
I also cite the # of Rs that ran on defunding BOSCARE, knowing it would go no where as long as BO was pResident, then when they ran again and DJT had the Presidency and the Rs had the ‘rule’ in all 3 branches, it still went no where and then when PDJT tried to ‘force’ their hand the SOBs quit saying PDJT was ‘unstable and hard to work with’ when - in reality - he was just trying to have them live up to ‘what brought them there’
Then EVERYONE is ‘shocked’ when the Ds took over and Ds, along with the Rs all blamed PDJT...
They had a chance in the first two years of “Obama”, but wasted their political clout on Obamacare.
