re: #649 Gus 802

Yeah, but actually, more Democrats voted against the bill then then Republicans that voted for it — which was all of one. That would be 39 Democrats.

Not commenting on the bill. I really think it would have been a better bill if everyone met halfway.

Dick Morris has explained that. These votes are as choreographed as a WWE wrestling match. They decide in advance how many Dems they will allow to vote aginst the bill, based on perceived vulnerability. This votes close enough that there were some real elements in it, but most of the votes had been agreed upon long ago.
