Evil Narcissist Bernie Didn't Vote on a Severely Needed Coronavirus Stimulus?

[Don1]

It's being rumored all over that Bernie is a narcissist because he chose to try to sway public opinion about a stimulus instead of voting in the senate.

It's being said that he needed to be there because the vote was 47-47.

Let's review this canard...

Here is a link to the 47-47 vote:

Question: On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed (Motion to Invoke Cloture: Re: Motion to Proceed to H.R. 748 )
Vote Number: 77          Vote Date: March 22, 2020, 06:03 PM

Required For Majority: 3/5 Vote Result: Cloture on the Motion to Proceed Rejected

First, it was actually Republicans trying to pass it, not Democrats.

Second, it was a cloture vote, not a regular vote. As you can see that requires 3/5 to pass. Republicans would need to have flipped 10 Democrats to get cloture to pass so that they could stop debating. They got 47-47. If Bernie showed up, it'd be 47-48.

Republicans needed 57-37 (57 Republican yesses and 37 Democratic no's)!

The numbers do not support this unmathematical rumor.
