House Democrats have decided not to throw up last-minute procedural obstacles to delay the bill, according to Politico. The caucus has instead calculated that it is best to let Republicans vote on the legislation and suffer whatever political consequences ensue.

(58,706 posts)2. Yeah, it's about time to do that...
the ramp up to the vote has exposed Repubs for the assholes they really are about as well as any legislative shenanigans could.

the idea that 40-60 seats could easily change from conservatives to democrats would no longer just be a dream but a reality...with today's House vote...conservatives know it.....and we must never let them forget the 100+ million americans they just screwed...and many will NOT vote for any republican in 2018

the senate to vote. They will look like idiots.
