1. The point of the day for the GOP wasn't the vote - it was that press conference
we just witnessed.
That they are willing to deal (get more of what they want) to pass the bill was also part of the press conference. Primarily though, it was to paint themselves as reasonable...that Pelosi (thereby the Democratic Party) was being partisan...meaning, unreasonable.. and are hurting Americans.
The GOP wants the majority again in Congress...they want it badly.
I think it'll pass too...after a few more concessions to the GOP...the kind the GOP can sell to their angry constituents as them forcing the Democratic Party to deal fairly.
It's all in how you spin the blame...and the republicans entire agenda today was that press conference...in order to do just that
Now we wait for the next move from the Democratic Party
