in reply to Aure Free Press • • •The math doesn’t support that story, though.
Nineteen Republicans couldn’t stop 193 of their colleagues here. The hardliners were once again sent to the corner in irrelevancy.
That is, until 209 Democrats said, yeah, let’s back the extremists and voted alongside them.
You can’t blame Republicans for stopping legislation that was overwhelmingly blocked by Democratic votes.
We really need to hold Democrats responsible for their support of Republican hardliners instead of having a reasonably functional House.
