Huh? You may need to read that again. Coons-McCain got 47 votes, which


wasn't even all the Dems, and wasn't the "bi-partisan" plan allegedly agreed to in the "chithole" countries story iirc. Only story there is McConnell let something go to a vote that Harry never would've allowed, but he gets no points because he did so knowing it would fail.

The watered down version of Trump's proposal, the "Common sense" got 45 votes. Including some from both parties unlike the above. BTW I'm not sure how 37 of 49 Dems is deemed "almost unanimously backed", but sad that so many Dems did vote yes and it still didn't pass. Looks like they may have missed an opportunity to force Trump's hand on his apparent veto threat. Dems could've made that happen on their own, if they cared about protecting the DACA kids.

Would have to dig more to understand why so many GOPers didn't support the Trump (Grassley) plan, but Chuckie made sure his folks toed the party line. Guess they didn't care about protecting those DACA kids.
