And while the moderates may not get their bill, they will at least get a vote on it. Paul Ryan sets the schedule in the House and he's not going to touch the Progressive Caucus bill period.

They will be voting on the Goodlatte Bill and the Moderate Compromise Bill.
If neither of them pass, the discharge petition might become a viable option again.

the republican moderates only wanted the show of voting for a bill... even if it fails, they can say they tried to save dreamers.

Some need to make the argument that while moderates might have their heart in the right place, keeping them in office will mean that the same old terrible Republican leadership will have power and won’t do shit for Dreamers. Therefore they need to vote the moderates out too.

Feinstein's got a bill to end the kids' crisis. Of course slimy Ted Cruz introducing his own bill since he felt the heat from O'rourke.

Sadly, this should take priority.

The problem is in the current political climate Trump Republicans are winning primaries, and those who have spoken out against Trump are losing. It's good for us if Democrats win the seat, but bad news if the Republican wins.
