     @seldo what I don’t understand is the GOP holdouts’ endgame—they’ve already squeezed blood out of the stone, gotten ridiculous concessions and guaranteed no reasonable legislation will leave house committees. At this point, they’re making it impossible to put forward their own cockamamie oxygen deprived proposals, which is just fine for all of us…
