He does, in the making of the sausage, but how many bills does he vote against when it matters ?

I wonder how he decides on the excuse du jour. Maybe he uses the chicken-poop method.

signals he is on board with this bill. He will of course hem and haw and complain and say he is concerned but in the end he say something like this.. the benefits outweigh the negatives and vote yes.
