Again, that's just false.

I'm talking about this specific bill.

Do you genuinely believe that the nature of political power within the Republican party is that Johnson would have made this decision on behalf of the party, and not Trump?

I think Johnson is perfectly capable of looking at a bill on its own merits and saying, "Yup, this sucks, my caucus won't go for it and likely a bunch of border state democrats won't either, so I'll go ahead and declare it DOA" all on his own as was the case here.

This notion of "Trump controls the Republican party and makes all the decisions for them" is a made-up trope. That bill stank and Johnson rightly said so.
