Why does the House vote on the files matter

[edhopper]

If it won't get past the Senate? Why all this drama? Not that Epstein isn't important. But so much time is spent on talking about the House vote when it will be meaningless.

1. It puts everyone on record where they stand on the issue.

[RockRaven]

2. Because the act of engaging in the cover-up will open some peoples' eyes, or

at least that is the idea.

[PJMcK]

3. The public is focusing on the issue

Let’s see what happens. We might be surprised.

Republicans don’t like to be forced to publicly take stands on certain issues. This will demonstrate who is who. (As if we don’t already know but this puts them on record.)

Besides, it’s kind of fun to see Trump scrambling to cover his shit.

4. Voters will be so repulsed that they will vote them out of office?

[edhopper]

5. If the voters weren't repulsed by Trump

and the GOP before, I can't see them changing

[leftstreet]

7. But they expected it of him

He was going to drain the swamp, give them universal healthcare, vanquish the liberals, and expose the Elite World Order Clinton Pizza Pedo Ring - so it was okay

Not sure they'd give run of the mill GOPer reps that same kind of leeway

8. Nothing happened in Virginia red counties nearly 2 weeks ago. Nothing at all. Move along. Move along.

6. Not meaningless at all. What do you think is ripping the magat movement apart as I type this?

It sure as shit isn't the current price of eggs. And what makes you so certain it won't pass the Senate?

And it ain't going away.

9. This is a time to . . .

Stand up for “ . .we the people . . “

[Tribetime]

10. I think it will pass the Senate nt

11. I will pile on

1. It is the right thing to do, case closed.

After seeing the results from multiple locations across the Country, whites (my clan) were 20 plus points higher for Reps than all other demographics. Northeast, down to VA, out here in CA, non whites were almost 70 percent to 90 percent for Dems. The lowest being Hispanics at just below 70.

The sunlight is being shined, Reps can try the family values bullshit like always, doing that while protecting pedos won’t pass the smell test for many.
