re: #157 Dark_Falcon
The problem is that all the Senate GOP would have done in voting for that bill would have been to drive an even greater wedge between them and their House fellows. Any Senate bill that resolves the crisis is either going to have to be a Republican bill or a bipartisan one. No Senate Democratic bill is going to be allowed a floor vote in the House.
And god knows that maintaining cohesion between senate R’s and house TPer’s is more important than the full faith and credit of the United States.
I’ve tried to be sympathetic to your loyalty to what the R’s used to be, but this is my Rubicon. Go Fuck Yourself. Really.
