20. *** Did I read this right and not a single one of you acknowledge WHY Bowman did it? **

It was to get more time to review the CR before passing it in a rush to ensure there were no poison pills.

THIS is why the Dems lose! THIS thread! YOU got suckered in by Smooth Kev, who cynically uses Bowman's sacrifice to attack Democrats.

Y'all got on your high horse and bitched and moaned about behavior and tactics without looking at the bigger picture or asking one dang question.

Some parties do strategy, and then there are the Democrats. And my god do y'all toss our own under the bus without asking one dang question. All assumptions..

Being a member of this party of naive, high-strung chihuahuas is effing exhausting.
