Subject: Re: Schumer to reintroduce border bill
They wouldn't. There's carp in that bill they'd never support. Tester and Manchin would support a vastly more stringent bill than Schumer would ever let on the floor, it's true - but not the House Bill we're talking about.

You know what Jon Tester likes more than anything? His job.
He'll be voting against Schumer's bill.

Schumer wants to draw a contrast on the border, and the way he does it is by putting a bill on the floor that the most liberal members of his party won't vote for. He's sending a message that his party is willing to swallow a bill that pisses off the base a bit, in order to solve a problem. Which the GOP won't do.

LOL. This bill gives him 5,000 ille-, uh, "Asylum seekers" a day. This bill gives border hawks very little.
