repubs already have a lead in the polls, dems will not do anything else to fuck with that.

what they don't understand is that their carelessness in getting anything done, will just sway moderates over to populist repubs, and the independents are already more than fed up with them.

but if they actually cared in any way about us, like some people here seem to think they do, they would've had said fuck it and conceded to get closer to a bill that would've stood a chance in the house.
