Oh, sure - they voted this bill down. But the GOP also gets to campaign, and they'll certainly take the position that the bill wasn't strong enough to do the job.

Apparently, many of this same voting bloc would turn down a lottery win that awarded them $500,000 because they wanted to win $2,000,000 and $500,000 just isn't enough.

These are not difficult issues to communicate in sound-byte friendly terms. Anyone who wants to play in national politics needs to seriously review these issues and bogus framing and actively prep for it to shoot it down any time it comes up.

WTH
