If they don't need his vote he gets a free pass because Republicans know that vote will be hung around his neck in 2018. He's my congressman too and yes, I called his office the other day about this vote. I'm glad he's a no vote now but the real test will come if Republicans need each and every yes vote they can get, including Faso's, to pass a final bill.
