Yes I do. If they supported the bill they would have signed the discharge petition. PERIOD!
This is not complicated. They told the world they didn't support the bill by their actions when it mattered. If even ONE of them had signed the discharge petition, this bill could have been passed over 2 months ago. Their votes yesterday meant nothing to passing the bill. It would have passed just from the discharge petition signers and all the Democrats.
It is so blatantly obvious that they didn't support the bill. What more proof do you need? This is the absolute height of hypocrisy and cowardice by Republicans . It's far too late to ascribe positive motives to any of them. They had their chance to do the right thing months ago and EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM chose not to.
