There's no question we've fallen a long way from the heady days of, er, January 2017, when we thought we were going to get a quick repeal of ObamaCare. Republican Congresses never fail to fail, and it should not be forgotten that the latest failure to repeal ObamaCare was very much the work of Lindsey Graham's best buddy.
But here's what I believe about legislation: You don't vote for something just because it can pass, but you don't oppose something just because it isn't everything you've ever wanted. If the country would be better off with a bill's passage - even if only a little better - then you vote for the bill. If you've left problems unsolved, then it's your job to come back later and solve the other problems too. But opposing the solution of Problem A just because Problems B through Z are not being solve simultaneously makes no sense. Solving Problem A is better than not solving Problem A, so solve Problem A.
