Why am I not surprised everyone in this thread thinks that conservative border bill was good.

Nobody does. We just laugh at the GOP for killing something that contains three items, and all three are things they would have supported without hesitation 10 years ago.

It wasn't good. What was good however is conservatives voting against a conservative border bill that they demanded go with Ukraine aid -- while also complaining that the two things were tied together.

It was a political masterstroke. Not only is it impossible for Republicans to say they're independent of Trump's demands, but there's now chaos and rebellion within their ranks.
