That is NOT saying "everyone was in love with this bill", nor anything similar.
He's claiming the bill had 66% support. That's a lot of support.
Or maybe his number had more to do with the aid packages buried in there? Hmm.
That IS saying that Reps were afraid it might have a chance, so they preemptively killed it without a debate or vote.
Yeah, no. democrats helped kill it twice in the Senate. It had a less than zero chance of ever passing the House.
But they couldn't risk it passing, and depriving the Reps of an issue in November.
LOL. You guys *really* think that bill would have solved something.
Spoiler alert: It wouldn't have. Neither will Biden's EO, btw.
The later vote (in May) was destined to fail because the Ukraine portion wasn't in it ("standalone"). Without provisions about the DREAMERs (which also wasn't in the bill), it lost a lot of Dem votes. That wouldn't have happened a few months ago. May have lost some, but the Ukraine aid would have limited the loss of Dem votes.
So in other words, the only reason some democrats were for the bill was to get the Ukraine dollars.
