15. I can only hope that Pelosi could have counted on their votes if passage depended on it

I don't know if that is true, but that would be the least damning way to look at their defection if it is true. Sometimes votes like that are cleared behind closed doors with party leaders.

17. Golden's entered congress in 2019, and his record places him

inside the Democratic voting bloc, toward its right side, on the govtrack.us graph -- so, far from what this vote might suggest.

Schrader's been in since 2009, but otherwise much the same.

My best guess is that both did have Pelosi's permission.

7. I'm disappointed in Schrader.

9. I see from their Wiki pages that..

Golden had the 14th most conservative record among House Democrats in 2019. Schrader is a Blue Dog. Very disappointing that they can’t at least get this right.

12. They should be ashamed to have a D next to their names.

Traitors.

18. We shouldn't say that unless we know it to be true. And we don't. nt

14. It's better that way.

That way when it passes and helps people, Repubs won’t be able to take any credit.
