It's not just that they didn't vote for it, they withdrew from the negotiation all together. They should've come up from their 660b plan to make it look like they were trying. Not doing that showed that they really don't care, despite what they say. When the economy gets a bump from this heading into mid-terms, it will not/cannot be attributable to any Repub. Trump had no policy, so they can't say that any success is an aftershock of what he did. Like the Repubs, he did nothing. He got nothing back at the polls.

The Republican party bailed on America. America will bail on them.
